Battleship
Cove Community Boating (BCCB) is a non-profit sailing school operated
by the USS Massachusetts Memorial Committee, Inc. Celebrating its
fourteenth year of on-the-water fun at Heritage
State Park, members put the “community” in “community
boating,” 100% of the membership fee is reinvested into community-based programs, enabling the program to continue youth
services and maintain or upgrade its equipment. Special reduced rates for
Fall River residents are offered to a limited number of young people
through Greater Fall River
Re-Creation. Youth sailing classes run in two-week periods
and are designed to give a basic appreciation of watercraft and sailing
safety. Participants are placed according to size, ability, and experience
into beginner and intermediate classes. Classes are taught in a fleet of
Vanguard Optimist Prams, Vanguard Club 420s, and Cape Cod Mercury
keelboats. Members enjoy free unlimited boat use during open sailing
hours, discounted adult group classes, discounted private, instruction,
free admission to BCCB functions (races & clinics), and use of docks
and facilities. Click here for a
