It just got easier to Support CBI with monthly donations: The mission of Community Boating is to provide “Sailing for all” regardless of physical or economic circumstances. Last year, Community Boating provided approximately $120,000 in scholarship memberships to kids from low-income families and over $80,000 of membership service to individuals with special needs!

Ever wanted to know how to throw a line so that it actually reaches its recipient?  Want to be able to tie the best knot for the job?  Or, do you just want to learn the knots you'll need to sail a Mercury?  If you answered yes to any of these, then the CBI Knots Classes are for you. The last time we offered a Knots Class, it was way oversubscribed.  So, we’re splitting the curriculum in half and are now offering two classes:  Beginning Knots (aka Knots I), and Intermediate Knots (aka Knots...

Walking out on the new docks, it is impossible to miss the red shed hosting a fleet of windsurfer sails and the array of windsurfing boards hanging on racks beside it.  Perhaps like me, you’ve even abandoned the comparatively stable (and dry) boats to check out a windsurfing class.

Thank you volunteers for helping the last two Saturday's to get the boats in the water, rigged, and outfitted, the boathouse straightened up and cleaned, and lots of other painting, building and gardening projects as well. We'll see you April 1st to go sailing!

Enjoy the 4th of July on the docks of Community Boating this year. Avoid the commotion of the masses on the Esplanade, yet preserve the spirit of camaraderie and the sounds of the Boston POPS as you enter our gates. A summer cookout, cold non-alcoholic beverages, and an unobstructed waterfront view of the fireworks. This Independence Day option is by far the best that Boston has to offer.

People of all ages and from all places join us for our safe and festive party; this event is especially...
