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
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

Perspective
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] The 2020 induction ceremony was held virtually in September 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic.[9]
