This year’s SHYC ladies' sailing program will offer a structured learn-to-sail curriculum focused on teaching fundamental sailing skills, building confidence, and developing sailing knowledge. All levels are welcome. No prior sailing experience is required. The program will use the club-owned Sonar and member-owned Sonars made available for our use through the generosity of their owners. (We may use other boats if there is a need or interest from participants.) Coaching: The program will be run by our Head Coach, Meredith McCuskey. She will have a 2nd assistant coach each evening, and we will have a 3rd coach if we have more than 8 sailors in the program. YOU MUST SIGN UP FOR A MINIMUM OF THREE EVENINGS. There is a maximum of 12 participants per evening; 4 ladies are needed to run the program. If an evening is oversubscribed, you may be asked to select another date or be put on a waitlist.  

Tuesdays, 5:30-7:30pm (arrive 15 min early to check-in)

Jun 27, July 11, July 18, July 25, and August 1 (Kickoff meeting June 2, no charge)

$180/sailor, three-week minimum participation ($60 per additional evening). You must sign up for a minimum of three evenings. No prorating or refunds. (We will however maintain a waitlist, and you won't be charged if a sub is available and agrees to take your spot. It will be your responsibility to contact ladies on the waitlist and make sub arrangements.)

Open to SHYC members, females ages 16+. Participants need to be able to swim, be comfortable getting wet, and be agile enough to climb in and around on a boat. Sailors will need closed-toed shoes with non-marking soles, a properly fitting, Coast Guard-approved PFD (life jacket), and comfortable sports clothing. Sailing gloves are optional but recommended.

You will receive confirmation by email before the start of the program and email reminders for each class. If a class you select is full, you may be asked to select another, or your name will be added to our waitlist.
