Discover the joy of sailing with our upcoming "Learn to Sail Small Boats" class! Whether you're seeking a fresh challenge or a relaxing way to spend your free time, these six day class offers the perfect blend of classroom learning and hands-on experience. You'll start with two classroom sessions to build on your sailing basics, followed by four on-the-water sessions where you put sailing theory into action. Best of all, the classroom sessions are completely free — making it easier than ever to start your journey.

The on-the-water training will be on Lasers and Sunfish which are single-person boats. 

Successful completion of this course will result in CLSA Certification, which allows members to sail the club small boats.  Our course sessions will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 pm on Monday & Tuesday evenings over 3 weeks.
