Program Notes

  • Classes will be tailored to fit the needs of the students enrolled.
  • Students will be grouped based upon their sailing ability.
  • Morning weather usually offers lighter winds and calmer seas more suitable for beginner sailors.

Note: Students must pass a basic swimming test on the first day of class.

We are offering an extended day for one hour 11:30-12:30 to students who want to stay and have lunch at the beach house with instructors. The cost is $50.00 for the two week session.
