Private Instruction
If you have specific sailing goals, or simply need a refresher lesson, we offer private one-on-one sailing instruction, customized to meet your requirements. Please contact us to arrange a consultation.
Basic Keel Boat
Learning to sail can be fun. This course covers the fundamentals of sailing and small boat handling for those with little or no sailing experience. Designed to inspire confidence while sailing the harbor with "hands on" instruction, you will be able to skipper a small boat in a very short time.
This course is taught in the Ensign 23 which is well designed for beginners. It's fixed keel provides excellent stability and its handling is predictable and forgiving.
Upon successful completion of the Basic Keel class, students are invited to rent one of our sailboats and set sail on their own or join our Sailing Club!

Coastal Cruising

We will review the fundamentals and expand on your foundation by exercising advanced sailing skills, handling a boat under power and anchoring techniques. Skills you will need for your first weekend cruise.
