The Chelsea Yacht Club (CYC) Youth Sailing Academy for youths aged 8 to 17 provides instruction in recreational sailing and sailboat racing with a focus on safety, learning and fun. Youth Sailors build self-confidence and learn lifetime individual and team skills including boat handling, seamanship and water safety. Our U.S. Sailing-trained instructors are certified in CPR and basic First Aid. They teach using curricula developed by the US Sailing Association and a variety of sailing dinghies including Optimists and Club 420’s. Each boat is sailed single-handed or by a two or three person team.
There are six one-week full-day sessions for youths aged 10 to 17 and four one-week half-day sessions for children aged 8 and 9. All participants, especially new sailors, are strongly encouraged to attend a minimum of two consecutive sessions to reinforce their new skills and make the most of their experience. All required course materials and use of club boats is included in tuition.
Limited scholarships are available. Please contact the Director of Sailing Education at the information found below for scholarship information.
