Our Donors/Sponsors
OWSA's mission is to make learning the art of sailing accessible to any woman who wants to learn. For this reason we keep our annual dues low. It is through the generosity of our amazing donors and sponsors that we are able to offer programs that present learning opportunities to our members.
Our Community Skippers - Boat Owners
We are very grateful for the many sailboat owners who give of their boats, time, and knowledge to help make our Wednesday Night Sails, races and sailing classes a success. We couldn't operate many of OWSA's programs without the engagement of our Community Skippers. The skippers knowledge and gracious donation of their time to teach sailing techniques is invaluable to OWSA.
A. Mazon & Associates
We are so grateful for the support Alison at A. Mazon & Associates has provided OWSA. She has gone above and beyond in supporting OWSA by inspecting boats, providing direction on boat maintenance and making a classroom available for classes at a reduced rate throughout the 2019/2020 education year.
Columbia Crossing
Thank you to Columbia Crossing for providing free trailer storage for our two OWSA trailers!

Each year up to four OWSA members are given scholarships through our ISC Scholarship Program that OWSA operates in partnership with Island Sailing Club.
