Sailing

Beginner sailors (ages 5+) start off in our dry and stable Colgate 26s with their instructors. Our sailors then progress into more independent boats. Younger students (ages 7-11) will transition into an Optimist dinghy and our older sailors (ages 12-18) learn in a two person, 420 dinghy.

The sailors will be divided into two groups, ‘Opti’ and ‘Teens’, based on skill level (intermediate and advanced) by their instructors each morning of classes.

Life jackets will be provided and worn at all times. Closed-toe shoes must be worn at all times. For a more detailed explanation of our youth sailing program, please click here
