We provide a safe and fun learning environment that teaches young sailors seamanship, sportsmanship, and safe boat-handling. Our overall goal is simple—teach kids how to sail and encourage them to have fun on the water in this amazing place where we live.
Sailing Teaches...
Self-Confidence:
Sailors need to proficiently handle technical maneuvers, navigate difficult situations, and develop sound judgment. With every skill learned and challenge overcome, a junior sailor becomes more confident, self-reliant, and motivated to take on new challenges.
Awareness:
Sailors rely on spatial awareness, situational awareness, and self-awareness to avoid collisions, adjust to weather conditions, and handle the dynamic tasks required underway. Junior sailors learn how to navigate their craft with finesse in response to a myriad of factors.
Initiative:
Sailors are ready to take on the tasks and responsibilities necessary for a safe and fun journey. Junior sailors learn to properly rig and unrig a boat, don safety gear, and put things away in the right place. It becomes second nature to contribute to those nitty-gritty tasks required for smooth sailing
Leadership:
Sailors fluidly transition between leading and following as circumstances on the water change. Because sailing is a team activity, junior sailors learn the importance of communicating clearly, fulfilling duties, listening to others, taking charge, and fixing problems when they arise.
