Visit Soon. Visit Often.
Every important sport has its sacred ground, Cooperstown for baseball, Canton for football and Newport for sailing. While each honors the sport’s outstanding participants, one goes further. The Sailing Museum & National Sailing Hall of Fame features displays that highlight the sport’s evolution; inspire budding non-sailor athletes to hone translatable skills, decision-making and teamwork; engage local schools and community groups; and opens an historic venue for private event space.
National Sailing Hall of Fame
The Museum is also the address of legends, a place to glean inspiration from stories of men and women inducted to the National Sailing Hall of Fame whose championships and adventures shaped not just the sport, but everyday life. It also pays tribute to members of The America’s Cup Hall of Fame, those rare sailors with levels of expertise so outstanding that they distinguished themselves at the pinnacle of sailing.
