Sailing Program 2007

Sailing lessons are offered to children 8 years and older.  A mandatory swim test is required for all new sailors to participate.  Lessons are designed to teach basic sailing and boat handling skills and sailors are grouped based on age, experience and competence.   Classes are conducted at different levels, starting with Beginner and continuing through Intermediate, Beginning Racing and Advanced Sailing/Racing.  Lessons are held twice a week, Monday & Wednesday or Tuesday & Thursday, and last for approximately seven weeks.  The sailing program concludes with an Awards Dinner in August.
