Learn to Sail – Build Skills and Confidence. Each session begins with a short on-shore discussion and is followed by plenty of on-the-water training. 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 knots, boat vocabulary, boat handling, safety, “rules of the road,” docking, and more. Mostly you’ll have a good time “messing around with boats.”
High School and Junior High School Students are Welcome:
High School Sailing includes both Junior and Senior High School students from any school. In fact, anyone from grades 7-12 is welcome.
