LEARN TO SAIL / Women on the Water ($250 p/wk + HST): Beginning with a Friday evening on-shore orientation, the weekend long sailing program features each student paired with a CANSail certified instructor or one of our SHYC member volunteers – each an accomplished dinghy sailor/athlete themselves.
Students learn basic sheeting, steering, and boat handling on all points of sail, while also learning how to adjust their bodies and boats for changes in direction and wind speed while sailing. As such, sailors can then sail safely within defined boundaries set by an instructor and perform boat-handling maneuvers in a controlled manner.
Each session has space limitations to insure an optimal coach : student ratio. For “newcomers” to the Yacht Club, a one (1) year SHYC membership is included in the price of the program.
