About HRCS

Hudson River Community Sailing (HRCS) is a non-profit youth development and community sailing organization with locations in Chelsea and Inwood. We develop leadership and academic success in underserved New York City youth through partnerships with public schools, and our diverse and vibrant community sailing center provides maritime education and recreation to the city at large. Core to our work is the belief that everyone can learn to sail, and that sailing provides a unique opportunity for growth and discovery.
