Lenny Shabes Sailing Festival
The 2nd Annual Lenny Shabes Sailing FestivalJoin us for a week of sailing in paradise, as our late founder Lenny Shabes, set out to teach aspiring sailors to do. To pay tribute to all Lenny has done for the world of sailing, we are calling all sailors to partake in a week of festivities ranging from sundowners to regattas in the beautiful BVI’s.
“Lenny often spoke of creating an event where we celebrated the sailing lifestyle as one large group of like-minded sailors. This event will add to Lenny’s legacy and his vision for American Sailing.”
~ Cindy Shabes, President of American Sailing
