Convair Sailing Club
Enjoy the San Diego Bay – Go Sailing Every Day!
If you’ve ever watched the sailboats on San Diego Bay and wished you were on board enjoying the salt air breezes on beautiful San Diego Bay, Convair Sailing Club can make your dreams come true.
History of Convair Sailing Club
Originally, the club was part of the CRA (Convair Recreation Association), a facility of the General Dynamics Corp.
When that facility, along with GD, folded as far as San Diego was concerned, the members got together and re-established the Club as a non-profit corporation under California law.
Members need no longer be employees of Convair or of General Dynamics. All of the work of the Club is done on a volunteer basis by the members; including administrative, maintenance and training. You, as a member, are expected to participate where you can and you will be called upon occasionally to do just that.
