Day 1: Begining with a morning of classroom instruction, students will learn basic sailing concepts and terminology. After a one-hour break for lunch, students will go out with their instructor on one of our Sonar 23 sailboats! With an afternoon of hands-on learning, everyone will learn how to steer, trim the sails, and enjoy an afternoon on the water.

​

Day 2: Students and their instructor will head out first thing in the morning. The entire day will be spent onboard out in the Long Island Sound with a lunch break back on land. The second day will focus on more specific boat-handling techniques, crew-overboard drills, and mooring skills.

​

Day 3: The third day is test day. This day is flexible to give students the best wind conditions possible for their on-water sailing practical. In addition, there will be a written, multiple-choice exam. Of course, there will be a break for lunch.
