WARWICK SAILING FIELD GUIDE
Take the Helm on a 1976 Sabre: Sailing Narragansett Bay from Warwick with Capt. Mike
Small-group charters out of Warwick that put you at the tiller for 2–6 hour sails aboard a classic 1976 Sabre—this guide explains what to expect and how to prepare.
Take the Helm on a 1976 Sabre: Sailing Narragansett Bay from Warwick with Capt. Mike.
From Warwick’s marina you step aboard Capt. Mike’s Hall of Fame 1976 Sabre 28' classic and slip into Narragansett Bay: a low-key, sunlit playground where the reward is open water, scenic views, and the simple, addictive physics of sail. Charters emphasize hands-on sailing—guests can take the helm and chart their own course—while the captain maintains safety and makes final calls when weather dictates.

What the day feels like
What Sailing Summer Wind Actually Feels Like
The outing moves at the pace of wind and tide: board in Warwick, cast off into Narragansett Bay, and trade shorebound noise for wind-chip, horizon, and small-group conversation. On fair days the deck is bright and breezy; the captain teaches and steps back so you can steer, trim sails, and learn how a classic Sabre responds. Plans are always weather-dependent—safety is the priority, and the captain makes the go/no-go calls.
