CELEBRATING OVER 75 YEARS
A Provincetown summer sailing program since 1950
MEMORIES THAT LAST A LIFETIME
Our mission is to provide a fun, safe, and low-cost instruction in sailing & sailboat racing for children in the heart of Provincetown.
OVER 75 YEARS OF MARITIME EDUCATION
For more than 75 years, West End Racing Children’s Community Sailing has been a cornerstone of maritime education on the Outer Cape—a rite of passage for over 11,000 young people who have learned to sail, race, and practice water safety in a supportive, confidence-building environment. What begins on the water extends far beyond it: generations of sailors leave WERCCS with self-reliance, responsibility, leadership, respect for fair competition, and a lasting connection to the marine world. As we carry this legacy forward, we are proud to launch our 2nd Annual Celebration & Fundraiser in 2026, an event that honors our history, engages our community, and helps ensure that future generations have the same opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive on the water.
Life at WERCCS
We believe that learning to sail can be a transformative, character-building experience for youth and that sailing is a way to help children develop confidence, self-reliance, personal responsibility, a sense of friendly and fair competition and an appreciation of the marine environment as well as an opportunity to develop peer leadership and teamwork skills.
Location & Hours
Located in the 'West End' of Provincetown we own beachfront property and maintain a boathouse at 83 Commercial Street. We own a number of different kinds of watercraft including dinghies, kayaks, Sun Fish, , new Fulcrum Rockets in 2026, and Topaz Uno sailboats.
Regular hours are 9am-12pm and 1-4 pm weekdays in July and August varying with the weather and tides.
