About

The Capital City Sailing Association was started by a group of sailing enthusiasts from the Jefferson City area in the spring of 2009. Their goal was to foster interest in sailing and create opportunities for sailing in Jefferson City. With Binder Lake only minutes away, the founders knew there was no need for a long drive to experience the excitement of sailing.

During fall 2009 and spring 2010, the organization focused on fleet-building and facilities. We partnered with Jefferson City Department of Parks and Recreation, and the partnership resulted in the building of a new facility at Binder Lake for storing sailboats. The facility is also used by the Parks Department Summer Day Camp program to introduce kids to sailing and kayaking. Also during that time, several of our members made trips to purchase boats for the club. The addition of the club boats and storage facility make it easier than ever to go for a quick sail.

The Association welcomes sailors of all experience levels. Some of our members have thousands of blue water miles under their belts, others are just learning to trim a sail. Our members are always looking for crew so there are plenty of opportunities to get on the water.

During the summer, CCSA hosts sailing events at Binder Lake several times a month. We also organize more structured events from time to time throughout the year. Check out our coming events calendar or contact one of our members for more information.
