The Youth Program is structured around “sail and learn” sessions in which kids get hands-on sailing experience under supervision of an instructor and parent helpers on Saturdays and Sunday afternoons during the summer. The program fosters self-confidence, independence, and responsibility, with the main goal of the program being to teach the young sailors to be completely comfortable and independent in a sailboat. For the kids that have the basics of sailing down, reach races will be held on specific Sundays afternoons where the kids race just off the club pier with parents cheering them on.
