Namequoit Sailing Association (NSA) was started in 1950 by a handful of sailors on Pleasant Bay, who all had an interest in racing sail boats.  Their mission statement was to "develop an interest in sailing and to promote a knowledge of safety on the water.  The following year the Junior Sailing Program was started so that their children would learn to sail.  The Junior Sailing Program's mission is to instill the joy of sailing and to teach sailing and racing skills.

NSA is a non-profit organization - we have a membership limited to 60 family memberships and an open racing membership. We offer racing on the weekends and instruction for junior sailors and adults. We are also coordinating a Pleasant Bay Sailing partnership which matches skippers and crew together.
