OBJECTIVES

For kids to enjoy the sport of sailing and gain confidence, awareness, and a safety-first mentality while on a boat. Through this program, we hope to raise their level of enthusiasm for the sport by providing a venue where they can practice competitive or leisure sailing after the summer program. We strive to motivate students to continue their sailing practice throughout the school year and return in the summer with an even greater desire to practice the sport and take advanced lessons. Finally, we wish to see all these students participating in regattas held during the year.
