Press Release Summary: Annual Boston event expected to draw thousands seeking fun
things to do outdoors as weather warms.

Press Release Body: A weekend of free sailing trips along Boston\'s historic
waterfront will usher in the start of the New England sailing season on Saturday and
Sunday, April 26 and 27, 2008, from 1pm to 5pm. The event is organized each year
by the Boston Sailing Center (www.bostonsailingcenter.com) located on Lewis Wharf in
downtown Boston.

First-time sailors as well as more experienced skippers are invited to join the
festivities at Lewis Wharf. Harbor sailing trips will be conducted by experienced
sailors aboard a fleet of boats ranging in length from 23 to 40 feet. The Center\'s
teaching staff will be on hand to answer questions about sailing terms and basic
techniques, popular sailing vacation spots, and about Boston Harbor and the islands.
Refreshments will be available during the event.

Those who sign up for lessons or memberships during the event will have a portion of
the fee donated to Save the Harbor/Save the Bay, a nonprofit agency working to
conserve and improve Boston Harbor as a recreational resource.

This year\'s event marks the 32nd annual Free-Sailing Weekend sponsored by the
Center. Headquartered in a converted Louisiana riverboat docked at Lewis Wharf, the
Center's floating classroom and boat moorings are just a short walk north of Faneuil
Hall Marketplace along Atlantic Avenue. Public parking is available nearby.
