Abbreviated Course Level I

For those of you who only have enough time for a single experience you CAN take just the first segment of the US Sailing Course which is 3 hours for $99.

While we find most of our guests have so much fun, that they want the full experience, a few simply want to try it out. You will miss out on some great instruction to really bring the sport full circle at the entry level, and you won’t get the 10 FREE hours of rental, but you will have a great 1st time experience.
