The Knickerbocker Sailing Association (KSA) founded in 1994 is a members club set up by and for gay and lesbian sailors in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
KSA began with an inaugural trip in August 1994. 13 gay men met in Jersey City for a sail aboard a 38-foot Irwin cruiser.
As of April 2006, KSA had 123 members of all ages. Its fleet included 40 boats — 37 sailboats and 3 powerboats. While some members have impressive sailing experience, no sailing experience is necessary to join.
KSA is the organizer of the Annual Stonewall Sails Regatta, an official event of New York's Heritage of Pride's Gay Pride Week.
