​
​Beginning/Intermediate Sabots | ~Ages 6-12
Wednesdays | 3:30pm - 6:30pm
Sundays | 1:00pm - 4:00pm ​
-
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.
​Beginning/Intermediate Laser Sailing | ~Ages 12-17
Wednesdays | 3:30pm - 6:30pm
Sundays | 1:00pm - 4:00pm ​
-
Great for maturing tweens and teens, age 12-17 (100+ pounds), with anywhere from limited sailing experience to developing racing skills. Teens can pick up the more advanced concepts of sailing quickly and catch up to peers with prior sailing experience...it's never too late! Great for kids who discover sailing through their high school teams, but want to learn more about skippering. Watch out for monthly Screaming Chicken Regattas right here at MBYC for those getting into racing!
-
Limited number of charter Lasers available - $50 extra per month (having your own boat is recommended).

Perfect for maturing tweens and teens, age 12-17 (80+ pounds), with no or limited sailing experience. Teens can pick up the basic concepts of sailing quickly and catch up to peers with prior sailing experience...it's never too late! A great place to start if you are interested in joining your High School Sailing Team!
​Beginning Sabot Racing ~ C Monsters!!
Fridays | 3:30pm - 6:30pm
Saturdays | 1:00pm - 4:00pm ​
-
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.
