Annapolis Naval Sailing Association

The Annapolis Naval Sailing Association (ANSA) is a volunteer, non-profit organization for active and retired military, DOD, and civilian personnel. ANSA bases its operations out of Edgewater, MD, minutes away from Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay. ANSA emphasizes safe sailing practices and conducts its training and recreational sails throughout the Chesapeake Bay. The fleet includes a 44’ CSY as well as boats owned by members and loaned to ANSA for use in club activities. ANSA offers classroom training, sailing instruction, and recreational sailing. Members who complete our sailing courses are certified in affiliation with the U.S. Naval Sailing Association (USNSA). ANSA is applying for status with American Sailing Association (ASA) to provide ASA certifications.
