All instructors are certified by the United States Sailing Association and hold current CPR and First Aid certification from the American Red Cross.
Classes
Novice courses are taught in the Topper, intermediate courses are taught in the el toro, and racing courses are taught in the Laser and 420. It is common for students to take more than one of the same courses as new skills are presented in each session.
Safety
Students are required to provide their own U.S. Coast Guard Approved Personal Flotation Device. The Type III PFD is the most popular and most appropriate for small boat sailing. Students like them.
