CLAYTON, New York (June 16, 2014) – The Antique Boat Museum (ABM), North America’s
premier freshwater nautical museum based in Clayton, New York, announced today
its free summer sailing and rowing opportunities for 2014.
Beginning on Tuesday, June 24, the ABM will kick-off its popular Tuesday Night Sailing & Rowing program. This free weekly event takes place June 24 through August 12 and begins each week at 5:30 p.m.
This
program is open to the public and to those of all ages. No sailing experience

is free daily at the Museum with paid admission, in addition to the Tuesday
evening events.
Also,
the ABM will host a wide-range of sailing courses throughout the summer
including adult, junior, teen, and advanced courses. Courses run throughout
