Sailing Classes for Summer 2023 Are Now Scheduled!
Registration will begin April 6, 2023.
SWYC – Youth Sailing Association provides sailing instruction to the South Whidbey community youth and adult residents and visitors.
Our sailing courses combine shore-side learning with lots of on-the-water, hands-on-the-tiller experience. In addition to sailing, students learn boating safety, basic seamanship and knot tying. The focus is on being safe, learning sailing concepts and having fun.
Courses use the US Sailing instruction guide, which is provided at the first session, and our lead instructors are US Sailing certified.
Youth Programs
We teach Beginning and Intermediate sailors, ages 10 to 16 years, the basics of sailing. Each youth student is assigned their own sailing dinghy in each week-long session.
Adult Programs
We use SF Pelicans, two-person 12-ft. boats, to teach adults sailing. Courses include 8 hours of mostly on-the-water, hands-on learning during weekend and weekday sessions.
