Summer 2021 NEWS
While COVID will still be with us this summer, we have developed a plan to get more kids and adults on the water while still keeping everyone safe.
Last season was tough on everybody, as we operated on a very limited basis with fewer kids and a limited course selection. Thanks to our whole community for all of the support last summer.
Our plans for 2021 will bring the sailing school experience a lot closer to normal for children of all ages!
