COVID PROTOCOLS:  All participants will be required to upload or provide proof of vaccination plus booster.  Masks will be required when a distance of 6 feet cannot be maintained.

WHAT:  students are placed on boats with other women of similar experience. A curriculum of skills and experiences is implemented over the six weeks of class based on USSailing and ASA standards. Each boat is led by a knowledgeable instructor- most of whom are women.
