The Port Townsend Sailing Association (PTSA) was officially founded in 2006, but our roots trace back earlier—to the Wooden Boat Foundation, the Quimper Tars, the Wooden Yacht Racing Association, and the early days of the Port Townsend Yacht Club. Today, our mission is to promote sailing on Port Townsend Bay and surrounding waters; to provide opportunities for youth and adults in the greater Port Townsend community to learn and improve sailboat handling; to foster sailboat racing and seamanship; and to preserve and celebrate the legacy of traditional wooden sailboats.
