PSC River Fleet |
PSC operates out of Capitol Cove Marina [directions] on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling. The boats are used primarily for training, racing, and PSC social sailing events, but can also be used by qualified skippers. All five boats are sloop-rigged with 6-hp Tohatsu outboard motors and wing keels that draw 2' 8". Their masts rise 29' 2" above the water and each boat displaces approximately 2250 lbs. See the Boat Use Policy page for more information on boat use.
