WHAT WE DO

Our name is short for Norwalk Sailing School. The Sailing school site at Calf Pasture Beach has been established in the 1960's by then mayor of Norwalk -open for the public's use and enjoyment.  Since then, generations of sailors and windsurfers have sailed through weaving their stories and taking memories with them. Everyone knows us as NSS.

Our focus is two-fold: passion and precision.

We are driven by the aim to teach you top form and strong fundamentals while sharing our passion for dynamism of watersports.

If looking to learn a new outdoor sport or find an iconic summer sailing program for your kid, you're in the right place.

Sign up for our sailing and wind sports courses to kick-start your journey into the world of sailing, windsurfing or wingfoiling.
