Our sailing school students.
The School of Ocean Sailing offers sailing lessons for the complete beginner with absolutely no sailing experience to the advanced sailor looking for a controlled introduction to offshore passage making or celestial navigation.
Sailing school students taking the program range in age and ability from 16 to 80 and from total novice to experienced sailor. Sailing school students age 18 years or younger must be accompanied by an “adult family chaperone”. There is no requirement that should eliminate a student due to physical strength, size or ability, but anyone with a handicap might want to call and speak with Larry to assure themselves that there will be no problem.
