• This is where you start if you are 6-12 years old with little to no sailing experience but are comfortable in and around the water. Kids sail solo in Sabots aided by instructors in coach boats. It's not uncommon that kids repeat this class for a year or two depending on how young they are to start.​​

Wednesdays | 3:30pm - 6:30pm

Fridays | 3:30pm - 6:30pm ​

• This is the next step for sailors who have become comfortable in Beginning Sabots and are interested in learning more about racing. After this you're ready for our MBYC Race Team! Along with weekly practices, we have weekend club races or "regattas" called the Screaming Chickens, a fun way to experience racing for the first time right at home.

Middle & High School Sailors​

• Designed for Middle & High School students interested in learning how to sail and getting into Scholastic Sailing.

• This is where to start if you're interested in joining your school's Sailing Team or have a small team.

• This is a great place to start if your school wants to create a team. No experience needed!

• Practice will include sailors from La Jolla HS, La Jolla Country Day, Grauer, Santa Fe Christian & Clairemont HS

• Teams will compete at regattas separately, but by combining at practices, allows for more affordable pricing and a more quality training experience.

DROP-INS

It is challenging to manage staffing, quality and safety while allowing Drop-Ins for our Regular Classes. 

We will still allow Drop-Ins but will add a 30% Drop-In charge to the regular daily fee.

Regatta Coaching

Non-Race Team Members (those not signed up for any classes) will be charged for Regatta Coaching:

• $20/day local events (club/SDAYC) 

• $60+/day away events (SCYYRA+)

Minimum Class Sizes

If there are fewer than 3 students registered for any class 7 days before the session starts, that class will be canceled, and registrations will be fully refunded.
