COME SAIL WITH OWSA IN 2026!
OWSA promotes opportunities for women to learn sailing through education and practical experience. Our members come from all walks of life and all levels of sailing experience—from no experience to experts, river sailing to ocean crossing, and racing to cruising. We’ll help you get on the water, enhance your knowledge and skills, and access sailing opportunities in the Portland area and beyond. Join today and you’ll be part of an encouraging, collaborative group that is excited to share a common interest in sailing.
