Rehoboth Bay Sailing Association Features Sunfish Sailing

Come join us for a sail!! Located on a ½ mile wide strip of sand along the southeast coast of Delaware, we enjoy some of the best sailing on the east coast.

Rehoboth Bay is ideally suited to small boat sailing like not many other places on the East Coast. With consistent wind, little to no current and relatively shallow water, we enjoy an inherently safe sailing location. RBSA is located on a clean sandy beach with only a ½ mile of land between us and the Atlantic Ocean, thus aiding in consistent thermal breeze development. At Rehoboth Bay Sailing Association we have enjoyed particularly beautiful sailing conditions for over 40 years.

If you are a novice sailor, Rehoboth Bay Sailing Association is the place for you. Our Sailing School has been in existence non-stop since RBSA was founded over 40 years ago. In fact, teaching sailing was initially how the club came to be!

If racing is your thing, or even if you just want a concentrated way to improve your basic skills, RBSA is definitely where you want to be! Our Sunfish fleet goes way back and has hosted countless regatta's including Club, District & National Championships.

The roots of Sunfish Fleet 200 go back to the beginning of The Rehoboth Bay Sailing Association. Looking for an easy to handle & maintain boat to teach the children of Club members to sail in, Sailfish were selected. Of course the kids quickly progressed, and soon a Sailfish Racing fleet was established to help hone there skills even more. When Sunfish were introduced, the Club naturally embraced them and to this day remains the back bone of competitive racing at RBSA

As many of you sailors are aware, the Sunfish has been around for decades. Through the years and even to this day, the Sunfish is often used as an easy to sail camp boat for instructional purposes. The Sunfish has survived through all these years because of it's simplicity to sail, ease of maintenance, ease of transport and low cost. The point many sailor's may not realize is these attributes have also contributed significantly to The Sunfish Classes longevity as an International Racing Class, arguably one of the most deeply rooted and stable one in existence.
