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, this five day class offers the perfect blend of classroom learning and hands-on experience. You'll start with a classroom session 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 session is 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 on the water sessions will be held from 6:00-8:00 pm on Monday & Tuesday evenings over 2 weeks.
