Learn the Art of Sail! 

Located on the shores of Rockland's working waterfront, the MidCoast Sailing Center is an educational program of the Sail, Power, and Steam Museum, providing classroom and on-board sailing experiences, education in seamanship skills, and exposure to the lure of the sea and Maine's maritime history. We are dedicated to inspiring a lifelong love of sailing and maritime heritage through exceptional education, hands-on experiences and community engagement.

Our boat rental program allows experienced sailors to explore Rockland Harbor aboard a variety of classic and performance vessels, while our educational talks and workshops, such as Boat Talk, On the Water and Captains’ Quarters, connect the community with maritime experts.
