        It all started with one boat and a dream. The boat was Renaissance. The dream was to create an option — spark the Love of Sailing for Youth ,which otherwise could not even get the chance to fathom it. Thus, Mary and Steve started Afterguard. Yep, 20 years ago!!! Both ,boat and dream, are still with us!! And although Steve parted with this realm (RIP????),  Mary’s passion and dedication only enlivened! And, more gathered!

        To make this dream happen, Afterguard grew to-the-day in offering ASA course certifications, charters, specialty clinics, instructor qualifications, school memberships, destination flotillas and tailored-learning classes. This year, Afterguard Sailing Academy is celebrating 20 revolutions around the sun, and proudly featuring the 1yo+ independent 501(c)3 ASAYA -Afterguard Sailing Adventures Youth Academy

        We could not have done any of this without your participation - big or small, it all mattered and it is what keeps us going. We are grateful to each of you!!  We would love if you join us on Saturday, AUG 12th!!  Hop aboard for a thrilling adventure! We’ll sail &dock, play all the way, hunt for fun, cook up a storm, feast, share laughter through dance, and celebrate the nautical way! All hands on deck for a buoyant time!!!!
