SAILING
Formed in 1999, the Bellport Bay Sailing Foundation, Inc. teaches the sport of sailing to children and adults, encourages the broadest possible participation in the sport by residents surrounding Bellport Bay, generates additional interest in the sport by conducting sailing competitions and supports preservation of the environment and nautical heritage of Bellport Bay. The BBSF youth sailing program is open to the general public and draws its participants principally from communities near Bellport Bay. Sailing lessons are offered beginning in late June and ending in mid-August, are modest in cost and range in difficulty from basics for beginners to advanced racing techniques. The more advanced BBSF sailors participate in junior regattas organized by the Great South Bay Yacht Racing Association and held throughout the summer at various locations on the Great South Bay.
