History
Stowarzyszenie Marina Poraj has existed since July 2014. Its purpose is to enable watersports, powerboating, sailing tourism and recreation, and to spread knowledge of watersports. Young people in particular are introduced to sailing and educated in the spirit of sailing ethics. The association also works for the integration of the sailing community, tourism development and the promotion of the municipality of Poraj. At the Zalew Porajski site, slightly away from the town centre, the marina offers active members recreation on the water and the chance to pursue further sailing interests. The offer includes water equipment rental, a campsite with caravan hire, the Spinaker tavern, courses and information meetings on watersports, the organisation of regattas and water events, and seasonal berths plus winter storage. The statutes also provide for courses and examinations for the yacht sailor certificate, cooperation with local authorities and co-organisation of sports events such as Zalewu Biegaczy. The association’s activity and that of cooperating partners from 11 February 2014 to 31 December 2020 is documented on the website. Today the association brings together sailing enthusiasts of different ages and runs the Marina Poraj Sailing Team as its racing section for children and young people.
