Winter Sailing

Looking to keep your sailing skills sharp this winter, but not sure where to turn?

Well there are certainly plenty of different fixes to take care of all your needs throughout Long Island. Frostbiting has been around for a long time, and started in the days of no goretex (gasp!) and during pre-neoprene era (the horror!). But today we have all the fancy keep you dry and warm materials you could want and more. If you are brave and maybe even a little crazy, get out on the water this winter at one of the locations below. Many offer demo boats to get your feet wet before you commit to buying one of your own if you don't already.
