National Sailing Hall of Fame

The Sailing Museum and National Sailing Hall of Fame is a nonprofit educational organization that promotes sailing and racing by recognizing individuals who have contributed to the sport, highlighting sailing's contribution to the American culture; and demonstrating its value as a hands-on tool for teaching math and science. The organization was established in 2005.[1]

Sailing Museum[edit]

The Sailing Museum and National Sailing Hall of Fame was originally housed in the Captain Burtis House, located on the City Dock in Annapolis, Maryland.[2] Visitors to the site could participate in on-the-water experiences and learn about sailing history, art and lore.[3]

On 1 May 2019, it was announced that the National Sailing Hall of Fame would move from Annapolis to Newport, Rhode Island.[4][5]

In 2019, the National Sailing Hall of Fame purchased the Armory Building in Newport, an historic building with connections to the America's Cup race. The space was restored to a full exhibit, event and meeting space, in collaboration with the Herreshoff Museum and the America's Cup Hall of Fame.[6][7]

The new museum open May 10 2022, and includes educational programs and special events. www.thesailingmuseum.org

Gary Jobson and Tom Whidden serve as Co-Chairs of the Board. Ashley Householder is the Executive Director of the Sailing Museum and National Sailing Hall of Fame.

Inductions[edit]

The National Sailing Hall of Fame began inducting honorees in 2011.[8] As of January 2024, 123 inductees over 13 classes have been elected to the Hall of Fame.[9]

Nominations to the National Sailing Hall of Fame are made online. A nominating committee evaluates all the submitted nominations.[10] Inductees are typically announced in the summer, and the induction ceremony is held in the fall at different locations around the United States. Inductions began in 2011.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] The 2020 induction ceremony was held virtually in September 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic.[9]
