The US SAILING Center of Martin County (USSCMC) is a community sailing center offering recreational, competitive and learnto sail opportunities for youth and adults of all ages. USSCMC is one of only three Community Sailing Centers in the United States sanctioned by the US SAILING Association - the national governing body of the sport of sailing. The mission of the USSCMC calls for a commitment to broaden the base of the sport of sailing through dedicated, affordable community sailing programs for youth and adults, and providing support for the development of future champions and Olympic racers. Since 1992, when a “small boat training facility” was developed in Martin County, the USSCMC had modest beginnings in a trailer located on the Jensen Beach Causeway. With hardworking volunteers and donated sailboats, the Center began to grow. In 1998, it was recognized as the nation’s, “most creative and innovative community sailing program.” In April 2002, the Center moved into a new home at the north end of Indian Riverside Park.
