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.
REGISTRATION PRE-REQUISITES
All students must pass
a swim qualification test during the first day of the program
as a pre-requisite for the program. Students must be able
to perform a 25 yard swim, float for 2 minutes, and then
swim back. Students and their parents must also fill out
a medical history form as well as a medical release form
in case of emergencies.

Private sailing lessons for
adults (over 18). These classes
