Sailing is more than just a pastime or mode of transportation; sailing is an experience that has the power to change us, to change the way we look at the world. Sailing requires us to carefully observe the environment around us, to gauge the subtle changes in direction and strength of the wind, the shape of the sails and the movement of the boat thru the water.  Only thru careful observation and application of these skills can we master the complex art of sailing.  Our Sailing Programs provide students with the fundamentals of sailing. Then in small groups they hone those skills, rotating thru the different crew positions. Working towards a common goal, they develop leadership and team working skills. We create an environment for students to learn and grow. Their pride of accomplishment can be measured by their growing self-confidence.
