Sail Sand Point is Seattle's Community Boating Center, a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to making sailing and small boats accessible for all.

Seattle Public Utilities has notified us of a sewage overflow near Matthews Beach that is impacting the shoreline and public launching area at SSP.

Please do NOT launch from SSP or swim in the water from our shoreline while the beach closure is in effect. Seattle Public Utilities has posted closure signs in the area and has advised that they will remain in place for seven days.

Open Boating will be closed both today (Sunday, 9/27) and tomorrow (Monday, 9/28). Sunday afternoon racing is cancelled. We will reach out to those of you participating in race team and the Adult 101 classes on Monday.

We know this is an inconvenience and appreciate everyone helping us keep our community informed. We’ll share any updates we receive from Seattle Public Utilities. For now, if you need to access the water you may do so from the public boat launch on the south side of the park.

Labor Day marks the end of our Annual Summer Fundraising Campaign, and we’re heading into the final weekend with a little extra incentive to support scholarships, adaptive sailing, and low-cost community programs.

Stop by Sail Sand Point when Open Boating is open THIS weekend (Friday through Monday) and make an in-person donation of $20 or more and you’ll:

1. Receive an entry to win a FREE Annual Pass. That’s a whole year of Open Boating rentals!

2. Take home an SSP lanyard + waterproof phone case (while supplies last!)

More importantly, your donation helps keep SSP affordable and often completely free for those who need it most. Community support helps us provide scholarships, affordable programs, adaptive sailing opportunities, free community events, and access to the water on safe, well-maintained boats for thousands of people each year.

If you can`t make it in-person or want to support with a different amount digitally, you can support the Annual Campaign with a tax-deductible gift of any amount online too! Head to sailsandpoint.org/donate to support with any amount.

Thanks for helping us wrap this Annual Campaign strong!
