Learn the Art of Sail!

image000000.JPG

Located on Rockland’s working waterfront, the Midcoast Sailing Center (MCSC) is the waterfront education program of the Sail, Power & Steam Museum. We believe the best way to learn about sailing is to get out on the water—hands on, in real boats, with instructors who love what they do.

From a child climbing into an Optimist for the first time to an adult learning to handle a boat with confidence, MCSC offers opportunities to learn, practice, and experience the Maine coast. Our programs combine sailing and seamanship with the history, traditions, and working waterfront that make this place special.

Whether you're brand new to sailing, building your skills, or simply looking for a way to get out on the water, there's a place for you at MCSC.

From first-time sailors to experienced mariners, MCSC offers hands-on opportunities to learn, build confidence, and get out on the water. Our programs are designed for kids, teens, and adults, with something for every age and experience level—from free youth sailing and private lessons to clinics, rentals, and time aboard our classic vessels.
