Summer Youth SailingFor ages 8 to 14 we teach morning beginner lessons. The class is mostly done in Optimist sailboats. Once your sailor has had a few weeks of beginner classes and are feeling comfortable in the boat alone, we offer afternoon intermediate and advanced options. Intermediate and Advanced classes use Optimists, O'pen Bics, Lasers, V-15s and FJ's. Additionally, the afternoon Intermediate/Advanced Race Clinics teach kids the fundamentals of racing and are open to sailors ages 10-18.
Adult SailingFor ages 18 and up we offer evening sailing sessions during the summer. Summer co-ed and women's classes (for all who identify as women) provide an opportunity to develop skills and friendships on the water. We use FJ's, and V-15s. Content and instruction will vary depending on the class size and experience.
High School and Middle School Racing We welcome all Orcas students 7th through 12th grade with an interest in continuing their sailing progression to join us this Spring for local practices and competitive opportunities. Practices will be held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday after school, with opportunities to travel regionally for regattas, clinics, or joint practices with other teams. We primarily sail the double-handed Flying Junior (FJ), a 13ft dinghy with two sails. Additionally, we will have Laser Radials and Laser 4.7s to accommodate additional sailors in smaller single-handed boats. Contact us for more information on the summer race circuit.
Open House Boat Rides Drop by one of our informal open houses to meet other curious and enthusiastic nautical community members. Boat rides and information on how to participate in our instructional sailing programs will be provided!
