Come experience Philadelphia from a sailboat.

Liberty Sailing Club is open to all sailors – from beginners to experts. Located on the Delaware River in Center City, Philadelphia, the club has a fleet of J/27s – sloop rigged sailboats designed for performance sailing. Members can sail as much as they like. Some choose to race, some to cruise, and some to race and cruise. What you do and how often is up to you!

The regular sailing season starts the third week in April and goes through mid-November.
