Ages 7 - Adult

Ahoy Colchester Residents! Discover Malletts Bay and the sport of sailing this summer! The International Sailing School on Lakeshore Drive is pleased to offer a twelve hour instructional program for families and individuals ages 7 to adult. (7 - 11 year olds must be accompanied by a registered adult). Students may participate as much or as little as they like.  Just relax and enjoy the experience or train toward certification, the choice is yours! Teaching ratios will be four students per one instructor.  The type of vessel will depend on your goals . . . a small 21-26’ cruiser for the “laid back experience” or a 27’ racing sloop for the “intense learner”. Curriculum will be tailored and customized as per skill level, but look for the following to be covered: terminology, departing and returning to a mooring, sail trim, tacking and gybing, steering a steady course, points of sail, safety requirements and much more.  Minimum 6; Maximum 12.
