Regatta Sailors

The Regatta Sailors program is ideal for middle or high school students, both experienced and inexperienced, who want to learn how to sail and race in high performance sailing dinghies. This program utilizes 12 two-man Vanguard 420s and 2 one-man Vanguard Lasers to immerse participants in large fleet and team racing regatta competitions. Grouping sailors into sections based on age and sailing experience, this program will help sailors of all skill levels, both beginning and advanced, to progress through crewing and skippering roles and prepare for interscholastic sailing competition. Training includes shore instruction, off and on water drills, video evaluation of development, racing rules, and regatta competition.

More about Marine Programs:
Marine Programs offer exciting on-the-water experiences for students who want to learn marine and environmental science, sailing and regatta competition, coastal environment stewardship, and/or gain leadership experience and sea time that can lead to a USCG captain’s license and instructor certification when they turn 17. Over the years, 15 participants have earned their licenses through our “Captains in Training” program and now are instructors. Participants need to bring non-skid footwear, bathing suit, towel, hat, sunscreen, sunglasses (optional), backpack, rain gear, lunch and water. Questions? Call Capt. George Linzee at 631-786-3293.
