Sarasota Sailing Squadron

Sarasota Sailing Squadron - The club began in the late 1930’s when a group of teenagers got together to form a “down to earth” sailing club on the City Pier, which was located where Marina Jacks is today. The club was disbanded in 1942 during World War II. Upon returning home from their tours of duty the former members reconstituted the club and named it the Sarasota Sailing Squadron.
