Beginner Sailors

Our "Beginner Sailors" area is for people with little or no sailing experience. If you haven't sailed in a long time, haven't taken formal sailboat training in the past, or you just want to start at the beginning to gain a solid foundation, have a look in this area as well.

Experienced Sailors

Our "Experienced Sailors" area provides people with several ways to enter our program without necessarily starting at the beginning. While even experienced sailors opt to start at square one, we want to make sure that you stay pleasantly challenged and that you avoid classes you don't need.
