The primary objective of the Space Coast Sailing Education Foundation is to benefit the residents of Florida’s Space Coast by educating the public about sailing. The Foundation is a nonprofit. Together with our home club, the Melbourne Yacht Club, we are able to provide youth and adult learn to sail classes, as well as youth competitive sailing . The Foundation also offers deserving individuals, including disadvantaged youths and veterans the opportunity to learn the sport. Specific activities will include offering scholarships to allow underprivileged youth to enroll in youth sailing education courses, and arranging events to allow residents to have the opportunity to experience sailing.

We Now Have a Foiling Sailboat!
—
by
The Space Coast Sailing Education Foundation is thrilled to announce the generous donation of a Skeeta foiling sailboat by sailing enthusiast George Todd.
The cutting-edge Skeeta, a modern singlehanded foiling dinghy, will provide an exciting new dimension to the Foundation’s training fleet, introducing young sailors to high-performance foiling technology. Mr. Todd’s donation exemplifies his deep commitment to youth sailing and to fostering innovation in the sport.
“We are incredibly grateful to George for this forward-thinking gift,” said Nicole Dooley, President of the Foundation. “This Skeeta opens the door for our sailors to learn on a boat that represents the future of our sport, right here on the Space Coast.”
The boat will be used in advanced training clinics and foiling demonstrations as part of the Foundation’s ongoing mission to expand sailing opportunities for youth across Brevard County.

Youth Sailors Travel to Kiel Week
—
by
Julia Cohen-Pinsky and Hans Csaszar made the leap across the pond and attended the Kiel Week in Kiel, Germany, June 23-30, 2025 in the i420 class. The sailing event venue was the German Olympic Training Center, which was the site of the 1972 Olympic Games. The scale of the venue, the number of boats entered (450), the different classes of boats – all the Olympic classes plus many more as well as the offshore racing (love those J70s!) and the old three-masters, cutters, etc.- was a sight to behold.
