Get on your Nantucket Reds and deck shoes, its time to sail my friends!
It really ispicturesquethe river and the Boston Harbor speckled with sailboats on a sunny Saturday afternoon. The problem is a Learn to Sail package at Bostons Sailing Center costs $795.00! And the prices for other local sailing sites arent any better. Not to mention, you almost always need to be a member of their club to set foot on a Sunfish for the day in the future.
So, why get your hopes up when all you have in your pockets are crumbs and lint balls these days?
This weekend only, two of these local sailing clubs are giving out lessons for free. As long as youre ok with getting aquick pitch about how sailing has somehow become an affordable recreational activity (ha!), and you dont often fall prey to impulse purchases (i.e. if youre currently the proud new owner a of timeshare in upstate NY that you can only use in late January, this offer might not be fore you) you might just be able to grab the quintessential yuppie Boston experience for ZERO BILLS.
Ive done some research, and though there are two local clubs offering this opportunity this weekend one of them has already hit the Free things to do this Weekend circuit so it is likely to be MOBBED. If you like big crowds, seems like everybodys going to be hitting up the Boston Sailing Center, Saturday and Sunday from 1:00p to 5:00p, since they are shouting their program from the rooftops (http://www.bostonsailingcenter.com/news/openhouse.asp) on major city websites.
BUT if you swing by Courageous Sailing Center instead youll get the same Free Lesson, future discounts and FREE BARBEQUE! (http://www.courageoussailing.org/index.php) Mmm, free, windy, meaty goodness theyre doing this Saturday and Sunday as well, from 11:00am to 2:00pm, so head on down and steer a schooner! They also have some "Kids Sail for Free" programs throughout the seasonworth checking out.
If you cant make it out this weekend, or just want to avoid the crowds, never fear; there is still one place that you can sail in Boston for less than the cost of your monthly car payment. Its a non-profit in East Boston called Piers Park Sailing Centerand they have a Two Hour Vacation Package for only $40 per person throughout the season (http://piersparksailing.org/). Might seem a little steep, but when youre look for a nice breeze and a little romantic trip for two this summer, it definitely beats $795.00. Happy yachting.
