Junior Sailing

Welcome to the Summer 2010 Season! The CYC junior sailing program provides a safe and fun environment where youth sailors of all ages and abilities can improve their sailing skills, while learning respect for their fellow sailors, boats and the water. Sportsmanship and respect are the utmost importance, and it is the instructors’ responsibility to engender these qualities among the sailors.

The 2010 Jr. Sailing Program will have two 4 week sessions. The dates are as follows:

Session 1 - June 21-July 16
Session 2 - July 19 - August 13

Registration is still open. Due to the size of our program, the number of classes, and the number of instructors needed, it is important to have accurate enrollment numbers by April 1st so that we can make adjustments in staffing and equipment if necessary.  So, April 1st was the registration deadline for on-time registration.  After April 1st, we are still accepting registrations, but there is a $50 late fee

Please mail registration information to:
Conanicut Yacht Club
PO Box 257
Jamestown, R.I. 02835

 

Additionally, there will be a sailing fitness class for kids offered twice a week after the program from 4:30-5:15.  Check below for information and to sign up.
