Basic Sail Course Information
The Basic Sail Course is usually held three times a year and consists of an orientation, lecture content (in-person and / or online), and On-the-Water (OTW) classes. OTW classes are on Meadow Lake at Flushing Meadows Corona Park. For the Spring and Fall intensive sessions, the OTW classes are planned for Saturdays. For the Summer session, there will be two sections, one meeting on a weekday evening and one meeting on Saturday morning. Students will be assigned to an OTW section based on student and volunteer availability.
The minimum age for the Basic Sail program is 16.
Registration for the 2023 season will open in late February / early March. **Spots are limited and will be available on a first come, first served basis.** Attendance at all scheduled sessions is required and make-up dates are reserved for weather-related cancellations. If you anticipate a schedule conflict with any of the dates, please register for a different session.
Contact info@sailtasca.org with any questions or concerns.
