The program emphasizes learning, fun, and safety. The students spend as much time as possible on the water. Time on shore is spent learning about seamanship, nautical nomenclature, rules of the sea, boat maintenance, weather, and navigation. Young sailors build self-confidence by mastering the sport of sailing. More advanced sailors learn to race.

All instructors are US Sailing Small Boat Instructor, Safe Powerboating, and First Aid/CPR  certified. The program follows strict safety guidelines developed by the U.S. Sailing Association. Students are required to pass a swim test and be comfortable in the water. Life jackets are mandatory on docks and on the water.

 

There are 4 two-week sessions, starting on Monday, June 15, and running through Friday, August 7. We are off on July 3rd for Independance Day.
