Adult Sailing Lessons: Friday Afternoons in July of 2022

We are thankful to former Commodore Peter McAvoy and many of our Flying Scot and Laser racers (among others) who will be volunteering to teach adult sailing lessons this July.

Peter will be leading the classes. They are scheduled, for now, to take place each Friday in July, for a total of five Fridays from approximately 2 pm - 4:30 pm. This is a great opportunity for beginners or inexperienced sailors to get out on the water and learn the basics with talented instructors.

There is no charge. You can attend as many sessions as you want or are able. No reason to be shy - come to one or all classes.

Space may be limited based upon demand and availability.

Please email Peter your interest, so he can get an idea of how many to expect each week. Peter’s email is in the link below:
