Pleon's Mission

Pleon is a unique club which emphasizes junior sailing. Since the Club's beginning in 1887, Pleon's flag officers and members have been youngsters under the age of 21.

The purpose of the Pleon Sailing Program is to involve as many young people as possible in the sport of sailing through a fun, educational atmosphere and to keep them involved and growing on a personal level over the course of many years.
