The Organizations

As part of it's charter, Sail Nantasket will accept donations of boats, equipment and money to build a fleet of boats for use/charter by youth sailors participating in Junior sailing and Learn-to-Sail programs and by adults participating in Learn-to-Sail programs, and Sr. Racing programs.

"This program is supported in part by a grant from the Hull Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency."

The Hull Yacht Club, founded in 1883, is located directly on Allerton Harbor in Hull. One of the oldest yacht clubs in America, the club has a rich history of yacht racing and cruising. The current membership has a mix of sail, power and social members.

The Hull Lifesaving Museum, the museum of Boston Harbor Heritage, preserves the region's lifesaving tradition and maritime culture through collections, exhibits, experiential and interpretive education, research and service to others. The museum's open water rowing programs in Boston Harbor educate young people about themselves while developing a constituency that takes stewardship for its maritime history. The deeds, traditions, and ethics of nineteenth century coastal lifesavers--Skills, Courage, and Caring--are the foundation of the museum's exhibits and programs, and its underlying commitment to working to impact society, and individual lives, for the better.

The Lifesaving Museum operates a wide array of educational programs throughout the year from our sites on the South Shore and in Boston for children, teens, families, and adults. Examples include camps, workshops, daytrips, art classes, job training programs, school vacation activities, after-school programs, and open water rowing. Whenever possible, we make online registration available. For programs serving specialized audiences, please follow the contact information provided with each program description.
