Classes for this season are full! Reserve early next season.
With the foundations of our junior program well established, we are pleased to announce that we are offering adult sailing classes as part our sailing program this summer. Due in large part to the success of last year’s inaugural program, we will once again be offering a Learn-to-Sail course on the Club’s Sonar. Whether you are interested in being introduced to the sport of sailing for the first time or are looking to hone your skills out on the water under the tutelage of our instructional staff, we will tailor each session’s curriculum to the skill level and sailing experience of those participating.
As was the case last summer, there will be 6 different adult classes held over the duration of the summer with the course schedule running Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings from 5:00 to 7:30 PM. The class will run for 5 weeks and will be comprised of 3 adults and 1 instructor. In taking this course, you will learn the parts of the boat and other terminology, points of sail, rigging/derigging, boat handling, body positioning, and basic tuning. There will be some classroom instruction but most of the time will be spent sailing out on the Sonar. For those looking for a more rigorous challenge, the Wednesday evening offering will culminate in some fleet racing in the Boston Yacht Club’s summer series.
If you are interested in or have any questions about the class, feel free to contact Peter Stier, Sailing Program Manager, via email at pstier@corinthianyc.org or by phone at 781.631.0005 ext. 220.
