Glenmar Sailing Association

Come sail the Chesapeake!

About Us

Whether it's cruising or racing, Glenmar has something for you. We usually have several weekend cruises and a longer 1-2 week cruise that you can join all or just some of.

On Wednesdays from the end of April to the beginning of September, we hold PHRF handicapped fleet races in Middle River.

On Thursdays throughout the summer, in partnership with Baltimore County Sailing Center, we hold Portsmouth fleet races (small boats) out of Rocky Point Park.

We're currently looking for volunteers to help plan cruises this summer. If interested, contact Tom Mitchell at tnm@jhmi.edu.
