Learn to Sail
This is the year for you and your loved ones to learn how to sail…or perhaps increase your existing knowledge of navigation, racing tactics, or running a powerboat.
The links below will take you to sailing schools, community sailing centers, clubs and other training organizations in the Northeast (and some to the South!). Many of them provide instruction in a wide variety of boats as well as US Sailing or American Sailing Association certification. Others offer charters, fractional ownership programs, private lessons, safe powerboating courses, captain’s license preparation, safety-at-sea seminars for sailors of all ages, seamanship and offshore sailing instruction, sailing instructor training, courses for cruising couples, marine science education, and much more. The top of the list are current advertisers that support the WindCheck Community. After that are many more who appear or contribute to our coverage regularly.
