Our junior sail programs are designed to encourage and teach young people in all aspects of the sport of sailing. Focus is placed on boating safety, proper boat handling, equipment maintenance, basic seamanship and “rules of the road”. From basic sailing to advanced racing, these programs build confidence, character and leadership skills.
