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.
Sunday sailing is a twice monthly program available to all of our Junior Sailors to get more time on the water practicing boat handing, socializing and having fun outdoors. This program is more experiential, providing a more relaxed environment and a more diverse age group. Many times our High School Team members drop in to assist with coaching and get some experience leading and coaching the younger group through rigging and sailing techniques. Program runs the 2nd and 4th Sunday morning in the months of June, July and August.
