Set Sail for Clean Water!

On April 28th, 2012 from 12 pm to 5 pm Potomac Riverkeeper will be hosting a day of on-the-water activities at Gangplank Marina. The main event, a community sailing race down the Washington Channel, is open to everyone, from novices and those who have never sailed to the more seasoned sailors. Come on out and try your hand at the helm! Potomac Riverkeeper and partner DC Sail will have experienced staff and instructors on hand and in the boats. The vessels we’ll be launching, 19 foot Flying Scots, are stable, dry, and beginner friendly. Sign up today! Potomac Riverkeeper’s Set Sail for Clean Water is part of the Waterkeeper Alliance SPLASH Event Series, presented nationally by Toyota in partnership with national founding sponsor, Keen.
