⛵️ Looking for a fun summer activity for your child?

Prams in the Park introduces kids ages 8–11 to the excitement of sailing! Young sailors learn to steer, trim sails, launch their own boat, play games, build confidence, and make new friends—all on the water.

No sailing experience is required—just the ability to swim 25 yards.

Adult Centerboard Classes Are Open! ⛵

Ready to take your sailing skills to the next level? Registration for Adult Centerboard Classes is now open!

Unlike learning aboard a stable, dry keelboat, centerboard sailing is a more hands-on experience. These boats rely on the sailor’s own weight and movement to help balance the boat—making sailing more active, responsive, and exciting.
