Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club becomes U.S. Sailing school
The Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club is pleased to announce that it has become the second of two certified U.S. Sailing schools in Maine.
Since 1993, U.S. Sailing has played a leading role in designing and facilitating high quality sailing instruction and certifications. The curriculum and instructional methods have been carefully developed by U.S. Sailing to meet high standards and are globally recognized. Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club is now one of about 60 accredited U.S. Sailing schools in the United States.
Beginning this summer, Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club will offer the U.S. Sailing Basic Keelboat course. This course is designed for adults who want to develop the basic skills and knowledge to independently sail smaller keelboats in light to moderate conditions. A U.S. Sailing certified coach conducts all training on well-maintained equipment in a structured environment to maximize the learning opportunity.
Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club sailing programs will be designed for adults who are interested in learning to sail as well as improving their current sailing skills. In addition to introductory sailing lessons and U.S. Sailing certification courses for basic sailing on small keelboats, other intermediate and advanced racing programs and clinics are being developed. These are expected to include topics such as boat handling and boat speed, spinnakers, racing rules and tactics, navigation, and big boat sailing. Programs are available to the public.
