Portland Sailing Center is a sailing school on the Columbia River near Portland Airport. Been here since the eighties, a lot of years to figure out what works the best for students. We teach sailing on ballasted keelboats from 22 to 39 feet in length. Most classes are local, one sails in the Gorge, one on the ocean. Portland and the Columbia River is a wonderful place to sail, vastly underappreciated. It's about Location, PSC is at the center of the best sailing in Portland, at the widest and windiest point on the Columbia River. Our boats are mere seconds from the main stem: no commute time from dock to sailing. PSC is by the airport: 33rd and NE Marine Dr. We are NOT on Hayden Island, so getting to us any time of day is relatively easy. This makes weeknight sailing a great choice: access to the best winds, lightest traffic, and yes, some great sunsets. Only PSC is specifically crafted to exploit the natural places and conditions of the Columbia River. Our textbook, A Forest of Sails, and instructors take best advantage of local conditions to prepare you for challenges here and abroad. [Google Places type: sports school]
