Registration – Guidelines & Rules
Classes are TBD at this time.
Youth aged 10-17 can learn the art of sailing!
Our program offers a fun and positive atmosphere for learning both sailing and life skills. Instructors help students safely expand their confidence through small accomplishments and self discovery.
The program is designed to teach introductory sailing and beyond. Each student will have their own Sabot, a size just right for young sailors. They are 8 foot long sailboats that are lightweight, relatively safe and stable. These craft are so easy to operate that they are used in many youth sailing programs. This program builds self-esteem and personal confidence in a fun-filled stimulating environment.
New Students begin with Beginning Sailing, which includes learning the ‘ropes’ and knots, learning the parts of the boat, observing wind and weather, sailing every day using basic skills such as tacking, reaching, and running. By the end of the week, students are able to race using the standard sailing commands.
Students continue with Intermediate Sailing, which includes the review of all the beginning skills, plus practicing more difficult maneuvers, such as circling the island and standing up to sail! Every day includes a race.
Confident Students continue with Advanced Sailing which focuses on further tactics for racing and lots of practice.
Students may register for all three sessions, or repeat sessions if desired.
Class size is limited to 12 students.
Class time is from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Monday through Friday each week.
The Fee for each five day session is $TBD per participant.
