The goal of the Tiverton Yacht Club sail training program is to provide a safe, encouraging and fun environment for students to learn to sail, improve their sailing skills, or learn to race. The sail training program focuses on the enjoyment, accomplishment and self-confidence that result from learning a life-long skill. Our program is based on a US SAILING curriculum with instruction carried out in age- and skills-appropriate groups. Students also learn the proper care of boats. Safety standards are taught and strictly enforced.

Fundamental skills enable novice sailors to quickly sail on their own, while advanced classes lead to competitive sailing. Our junior sailors are taught by U.S. Sailing-certified instructors on Optimist dinghies and club 420 boats. Sailing instructors also hold First Aid and CPR credentials. Students can experience the thrill of sailing and enjoy meeting new friends by taking sailing classes this summer. The sail training program is open to boys and girls 8 to 18, and participants must be members of the TivertonYacht Club. We look forward to an exciting and fun filled summer on the water!

Warm Regards,
Chip Reuther
and
The Sail Training Committee
