Sailing is a sport that everyone can learn and enjoy. Sails can be our wings to freedom. They can take us in search of adventure, and far away from the telephone, TV, and distractions of everyday, nine-to-five life.

The 2008 Class Schedules are online, listed with each course. Select Basic Keelboat Certification to learn to sail, then later you can add Coastal Navigation to further advance your skills.

Our program of instruction can teach you more in a week than you might learn in several years of sailing on your own. Come join us and learn to sail on cruising sailboats with instructors who want you to enjoy sailing as much as they do.
