Adult Sailing Lessons

We are excited to offer Adult Sailing Lessons this summer! These lessons are a great way to start your sailing journey in a safe environment for learning. Sailing is a lifelong sport that develops motor skills while building self-confidence and encouraging teamwork. 

Our experienced instructors will use a combination of classroom learning and on-the-water exercises to get you comfortable sailing in the harbor, with an emphasis on hands-on sailing experience. This class will go over the basics of: how to rig a boat, knots, how sailboats work, points of sail, sail trim, finding the wind, navigation, rules of the "road", docking, and more. Students will each get experience sailing in all positions on the boat, including the skipper (driver).

  • Adults of ages 18 and up eligible to participate. To maintain safety, students should have basic mobility for this class, including being able to walk without mobility aid devices.
