DescriptionBack to top

All students learn basic water safety, boat anatomy and the language of sailing.  Sessions will include some on-shore instruction but most of the time will be spent on the water.  Along with certified instructors, students start out on smaller sailboats which are great for learning the basics.  The course will cover rigging, wind awareness, points of sail, tacking and jibing, and capsize recovery.  As students become more experienced, they crew on larger, higher performance boats for more advanced instruction and some informal racing.  

Sailaway Sailing Schools goal is to teach kids how to sail at their own pace in a safe environment combining hands-on instruction with fun activities to build confidence and encourage teamwork and develop friendships.
