Guidelines for Sailors:
Our minimum age is 8. Dress appropriately for the weather – wearing a bathing suit is recommended, and please, no open-toe shoes. Apply plenty of sunscreen before class and bring a water bottle. If you own a lifejacket, please bring it, as we have a limited selection for students to borrow during their lessons. Younger beginning and intermediate students are best taught in morning classes when the wind is generally lighter.
