Sailing has long been a sport of access, not opportunity.

That’s exactly what this conversation is here to change.

Join the East End Seaport Museum this Saturday at 5PM as Jeff Bresnahan, one of the most accomplished leaders in collegiate sailing, shares his work expanding access to the water through the Shelter Island New Horizons Initiative.

The masterminds behind this incredible initiative are creating real opportunities for people who have never had the chance to step on a boat, opening doors, building confidence, and changing lives through sailing.

Hosted by Stirling Harbor Foundation.

This is more than a talk.
It’s about the future of who gets to experience the water.

📍 East End Seaport Museum, Greenport, NY
🗓 Saturday, March 21
⏰ 5PM

Come be part of the conversation.

Beginning in 2026, stewardship of Greenport’s Maritime Festival will transition to the Greenport Business Owners Alliance, in partnership with Hold Fast, Stay True, the Greenport Village Business Improvement District, and the Village of Greenport.

This three-year collaboration ensures the festival remains vibrant, sustainable, and community-driven — while continuing to directly support the East End Seaport Museum & Marine Foundation through shared revenues and the annual Land & Sea Gala.

The Museum will remain actively involved through its signature waterfront traditions, including the Cardboard Boat Race, Snapper Contest, and Kayak Races, hallmark events that define fall on the Greenport waterfront.

We are grateful for the partnership and excited for what lies ahead. ⚓
