What is Junior Sailing Club?

The Junior Sailing Club provides organized sailing-related activities and training opportunities for young people ages 8 to 18. The club is open to all youth who have an interest in learning to sail. Activities range from fun open sailing sessions and on-the-water games, to weekly dinghy racing and participation in regional regattas. Occasional cruising on bigger boats, field trips to interesting places, and social events round out the program.

Costs

There is a $50 annual membership in the Junior Sailing Club. Other costs depend upon the activities that you chose to participate in. For example, Open Sailing days may charge $10 a day for the use of a boat and to help cover the expense of the safety boat. Instructional courses have posted fees. Weekly club races have a registration of about $10 each week. Regional regattas will charge something like $30-$45 for the weekend, but of course, travel expenses add a lot to that. When we do trips to regattas, field trips or cruising, we will try to share the costs involved.
