Borrow-A-Boat

The Borrow-A-Boat Program

OYS originally created our boat sharing program to attract new members with an low risk pathway to sailing and boat ownership. Today, the OYS Borrow-a-Boat program provides a safe and fun environment to experience the joys of sailing with a group of friendly sailors who enjoy getting out on the water. If you are new to boating or looking for a way to sail without investing in your own boat this program offers something for you.
