There's no feeling quite like the wind on your face as you glide throughout the water when your sailboat catches the wind. But maintaining and storing a boat is beyond the reach of many. However, for just about a buck a day, you can have member access to a fleet of 75 boats from Sunfish to catamarans to a 17-foot sloop. Non-member day rates are also available. 1001 Gulf Blvd. (Sand Key), Clearwater. 727-517-7776; clearwatercommunitysailing.org.
