Places to Sail

The map labeled House of Refuge shows the Stuart Causeway. Sail the west island when the wind is blowing ENE to S. This is a great island to sail out of, no boat ramps and grass to rig sails on. Sail the east island when the wind is blowing W to ENE. This island has grassy areas and a bathroom as well, but it does get crowded due to the boat ramp.
The map labeled Sailing Center shows both the Jensen and Stuart Causeways. The Sailing Center is located at 1955 Indian River Dr just north of Riverside Park. You can sail here when the wind blows anywhere from NW to SE. It is ideal for learning when the wind is out of the NE to E because there is a large sand bar out front. It also features large grassy areas, bathroom and outdoor showers with hot water!!! (Update 5/7/09 - A boat ramp and parking lot has been built on the north side of the sailing center and a road is being built on the south side. Will have to see how this turns out after construction is complete.)
The map labeled Hermans Bay is sailable when the wind blows NW to S. It is located out on Hutchinson Island south of the St Lucie power plant and north of Island Dunes Country Club There is a stretch of road that is almost on the water, thats the place. Parking is very close to the road.
Note the compass rose at the top of each map, the river runs NNW to SSE.
