Sailing Courses
Sail With Us!
As a community sailing program, one of our goals is to create accessible opportunities for individuals to get out on the water. We do this through group outing programs and through guided sails and courses.
We offer two U.S. Sailing Courses: First Sails, a fun, informal 2-hour sail to test the waters and Learn to Sail a weekend-long course where you can train, study, and be guided through the process to earn your Keelboat Certification.
