Directions to the On-Water Programming Facility
The Gangplank Marina is accessible by metro, car, bike, or taxi.
Metro is usually the best way to get there.
From the Metro
Take the green line and exit at the Waterfront/SEU Station. Turn Right on M ST. which turns into Maine Ave. Turn Left onto 6th St. DC Sail is located at Gangplank Marina, 6th and Water Street, which is just to the right of the Cantina Marina. The marina is 5 minute walk from the Metro.
Car
From I-395 (Virginia):
Take 1-395 North toward Washington, D.C., cross the 14th Street bridge. Take the exit to Maine Avenue and keep to the right which puts you on 9th Street, SW. At the traffic light, go straight through the intersection to Water Street, SW and then turn left. Our sailboats are located at 6th and Water Street, just to the right of the Cantina Marina. Classes meet at the big propeller along the seawall.
From New York Avenue:
Follow New York Avenue into Washington, D.C., follow signs toward Massachusetts Avenue. Before reaching Massachusetts Ave., turn left onto 7th Street, NW and take 7th Street south across the Mall. 7th Street ends at Water Street, SW. Turn left on Water Street. We are located just to the right of the Cantina Marina.
Parking
Parking is available on Water St. just outside of the entrance to the Gangplank Marina. It is metered parking and there are 2 hour and 4 hour meters. If you are taking a class, look for the 4-hour meters, as we will be on the water, and you won't be able to feed the meter during class.
Parking enforcement checks the meters until 10:00pm on weekdays and on Saturday. Make sure to bring along some change. Parking enforcement does not check the meters on Sundays. Be sure to read the meters as parking restrictions are subject to change.
There is also a paid parking lot near the marina.
