You'll be guided through the sign-up process, including a medical questionnaire and legal release. If there are questions on the medical release that you are unable to answer, just indicate that in the blank with a "DK."

Slam those high school books closed and head for the lake! Spend Tuesday afternoons blasting around Tempe Town Lake and racing around the buoys! Next session: Because of the loss of Tempe Town Lake, the group will start in November and will combine the usual fall and spring sessions into one for a flat rate of $220.

If you know how to sail, we'll help you learn to sail faster and coach you on how to win sailboat races. If you don't know how to sail, we'll bring you up to speed. Along the way you'll learn about boat handling, safety, right-of-way, and docking. Mostly you'll have a good time on the water.

We supply the boats and the US Sailing-certified instructors. You bring a PFD (personal flotation device) and a smile.
