The Society’s major recipient of our fund raising efforts is the Edison Sailing Center of Fort Myers, Florida.
The Edison Sailing Center is a community sailing center devoted to the instruction and promotion of sailing in Southwest Florida.
Located on the Caloosahatchee River in downtown Fort Myers, Florida, the Center teaches children the fundamentals of sailing. In addition to its fleets of International Dinghies, Optimist and Lasers, we also teach children (ages 10 and up) to safely operate motorboats. Group classes, adult instruction and private lessons are scheduled as registration warrants.
For those who want to go beyond the basics, the Center has a year-round program that teaches all areas, with an emphasis on racing. Our sailors participate in regional, state, and national regattas. We also offer Level I USSA Instructor training for interested individuals.
CMCS, in cooperation with Edison Sailing Center, offers a grant program for needy sailors. Please contact Edison Sailing Center to apply. CMCS members may find a CMCS specific grant form under “For Members of the Society” when logged in.
