NEW! KinderSail (Ages 4-7) |
Got an excited youngster who's eager to get on the water but can't quite fill the boots it takes to be on their own boat? Kindersail might be just right for them! Sailors ages 4-7 can sign up for three days of sailing with experienced captains to get used to the feel of the wind in their hair! Participants will show up at the Washburn Marina and, for an hour and half on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, put out to sea with one of our experienced captains and a first mate! Participants should be able to handle themselves on a moving platform without falling over, and must have a keen hunger for adventure. Pirate garb and eye-patches not provided, but encouraged.

Youth Classes |
Join us for a week-long class on Lake Superior to learn the basics of sailing, including rigging, terminology, points of sail, boat handling, knot tying, and general seamanship. Our instructors ensure each student is challenged, regardless of ability or experience, in a fun, safe and encouraging environment.
We celebrate the week of fun and learning with a potluck picnic lunch, preceded by a sail-by to show off new skills. Parents and pirate costumes are encouraged on these days! All 2021 classes are at West End Park in Washburn, WI on beautiful Chequamegon Bay.
