2026 Programs

LEARN TO SAIL

Our Learn to Sail program is offered in full-day sessions (8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.) and is designed to introduce sailors to the fundamentals of sailing in a fun, supportive environment. Students sail our fleet of Optimist, Club 420, and Ultimate 20 boats while learning essential skills such as boat handling, sail trim, safety, and basic racing concepts. As sailors build confidence and become race-ready, they will be encouraged to travel to weekly regattas and compete against other local yacht club programs.

  • Two-Week Learn to Sail:  June 15-26  ($875)

  • Three-Week Learn to Sail:  June 29-July 17  ($1,295)

FULL SEASON RACING

Our 7-week, full-day racing program (8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.) is designed for sailors competing in Optimist, ILCA, and Club 420 boats. Sailors train under the guidance of highly qualified, experienced racing coaches who provide focused instruction in boat handling, race strategy, and tactics. While the program emphasizes skill development and competition, coaches ensure sailors are still having fun on the water, building friendships, and enjoying the team atmosphere. Structured daily training is paired with weekly travel to regional regattas, where sailors compete against other local yacht club programs and grow as confident, well-rounded racers.

Available sessions:

  • Full Season Racing:  June 15-Aug 7 ($1,975).  Note, no classes held July 20-24.
