Afterschool Sailing Program

Summer 2021 NEWS

While COVID will still be with us next summer, we have a new plan to get more people on the water while still keeping everyone safe.

​

Last season was tough on everybody, as we operated on a very limited basis with fewer attendees 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!

​

Registration will open April 1

​

IMPORTANT NOTE:   To open up the sailing school while still keeping everyone safe we have adopted some important new policies and procedures for our after-school students as well as our summer camp students.

We are excited to offer a series of afterschool sailing lessons for kids ages 8 - 16.

 

Students from any town are invited to register. 

 

We welcome students of all abilities, from beginner to experienced sailors.  We will divide them up by age and ability when they arrive

​​

 

​Learn to sail and have some fun on the water!
