Press Release Summary: An afternoon of free sailing trips on Boston Harbor will give
novice sailors a feel for what it's like to take the helm of a sailboat.

Press Release Body: The Boston Sailing Center's final open house event of the 2008
season - featuring free sailing trips on Boston Harbor - will give novice sailors a
feel for what it's like to take the helm, and introduce them to the school's
beginners course as a way to "learn the ropes" of the sport.

The event will be held on Saturday, July 19 from 1pm to 5pm at the Center's sailing
docks on Lewis Wharf in downtown Boston.

First-time sailors and those with limited sailing experience are invited to give it
a try. Complimentary 'round-the-harbor sailboat trips will be supervised by
experienced skippers aboard boats ranging in length from 23 to 40 feet. Free
refreshments will also be served.

The Center\'s teaching staff will be on hand to answer questions about sailing
basics, and about the five-week, weekend and "vacation week" formats of the school's
26-hour introductory course. Those who sign up during the event will receive a $100
discount off the regular course fee ($795). Discounts on advanced courses and
one-year sailing memberships will also be available.

Now in its 32nd season, the Boston Sailing Center is headquartered in a converted
Louisiana riverboat that is permanently docked at Lewis Wharf. The Center's
classrooms and boat moorings are a five-minute walk north of Faneuil Hall
Marketplace along Atlantic Avenue. Public parking is available nearby.

For more information about the event, contact the Center at (617) 227-4198 or visit
