Overview

Junior Program (except for Sandy Bay Starters) minimum age is 8 years old at start of session.  

Swim Check - Each new sailor will be required to participate in a "swim check" this will be conducted while wearing a life jacket and with an Instructor right along the dock to ensure that the child is comfortable in the water.

 

This year we will once again be offering four 2-week sessions.

Be sure to familiarize yourself with the class descriptions, which are here. Contact us if you have any questions about class placement before you begin the registration process.

Students are grouped by ability, age and size, and Instructor recommendation. Placement decisions are guided by safety considerations and the skills demonstrated by the student. As a result, we will be unable to honor requests for “friends” to be placed together, or to have a student placed in an inappropriate class to accommodate a family’s schedule. We recognize that students mature and progress at different rates, and some movement from class to class may occur during a session.

More information, including what to bring to class, can be found in our handbook.


Membership

In order to become enrolled in our Junior Sailing Program, juniors (beyond Sandy Bay Starters who are just trying out the program) are required to become members of the Sandy Bay Yacht Club. Membership offers a variety of social activities, including beach cookouts, movie nights, and more. Junior members will also have access to boats outside of class time, once certified by the instructors. This membership fee ($125.00) is in addition to the tuition charges for lessons.  

Scholarships

Limited financial aid is available. Requests for scholarships will be considered in the order they are received, and must be postmarked by the deadline (see Scholarship page). We do not grant 100% scholarships… you still need to pay membership dues to Sandy Bay Yacht Club, as well as partial tuition. Scholarship Page.

After you Register

You will receive occasional emails about the Sailing Program as well as junior social activities.

We also have an online calendar of various junior activities.

Class Changes

Occasionally people register for the wrong class. If we notice this, you will be notified by the Program Director and we’ll take steps to correct the situation.

Refunds

There will be no refunds for classes unless there is a medical condition that makes it so a student cannot participate in sailing. A doctor’s note will be required. There will however be a non-refundable deposit of $20.00 for each class.
