A NEW CHAPTER FOR RINCON SAILING

Dear Rincon Sailing Family,

After 18 wonderful years on the water, we’ve decided to close this chapter of Rincon Sailing as we reflect on our journey and explore what the future may hold. This isn’t a final goodbye — just a moment of transition, gratitude, and openness as we consider new ways to support our local watersports community.

We carry forward full hearts. The friendships, memories, and lessons shared over the years will continue to guide us — and we hope they’ll keep rippling outward through all who first found their salt with us.

From the start, our mission has been simple: to connect people of all ages, skills, and means to the waters of Puerto Rico. Watching students discover sailing, build confidence, and fall in love with the ocean has been one of the great joys of our lives.

We are also proud to have been honored with the 2011 U.S. Sailing Jim Kilroy Outstanding Outreach Award, a reminder of the heart and purpose behind our work.

To every student, family, and supporter — thank you for being part of this incredible voyage. You helped make Rincon Sailing a place where learning and community came alive on the water.

As we look ahead, we remain open to where the wind takes us. If you’re interested in future watersports opportunities, collaborations, or conversations about what could come next, we invite you to reach out directly.

And we’d love to hear your favorite Rincon Sailing stories or memories — they mean more than you know.

See you on the beach,
Jeanne, Jeff, Zee, and Freya Sinclair
Founding Family, Rincon Sailing

Fall Friday and Saturday Youth Sailing

Thank you for your continued support of Rincon Sailing. We have listed our Friday and Saturday Youth Sailing Session dates for the Fall, Winter and Spring. Session times are 9am – 12pm. We encourage you to sign up to keep your sailing skills strong throughout the year. Along with seamanship and sailing on our Hobie Getaway boats, we are including windsurfing, kayaking, snorkeling and swimming in our curriculum. All classes are weather & wave dependent. Any classes needing to be rescheduled will be moved to the next calendar date or sailing camp that works for you. Sessions are $40. If you register for multiple weeks or 2 or more family members ask us for the promo code. 

In July 2024  we moved to our new location at Almendros Beach (PIN HERE)! We are so happy with our relaxed change of venue and had positive feedback from our supporters about the beach. Park in the parking lot, walk down to the beach and walk to the left. We are keeping our boats and equipment behind the wall. You’ll see the boats come out from the gate. 

We will be hosting a three day Thanksgiving Sailing Session November 25, 26, 27, 2024. We hope to see you during that holiday week. We’ll be sending the registration link out for the holiday session at the start of October. 

Please share our details with any interested parties.

After the Hurricane: Upheaval & Renewal

By Philip Walzer, published to Old Dominion University

In the last two months, Hurricanes Florence and Michael have caused Hampton Roads discomfort but little destruction.

Here are the stories of four Old Dominion employees and alumni who were less fortunate. They or their families faced hurricanes head-on and encountered dislocation, death, kindness and renewal.

‘A broken man whose world crumbled’

Joshua Behr works as a research associate professor with ODU’s Virginia Modeling, Analysis & Simulation Center. He focuses on preparing for and recovering from severe storms.

The subject has painful relevance for Behr. Maybe the cause wasn’t direct and the effect wasn’t immediate, but Behr believes Hurricane Katrina killed his father-in-law in Louisiana.
