Sunday Funday | All Ages
Sundays | 1:00pm - 4:00pm | Maximum 12 Sailors
September 12 & 28 | October 5 & 26 | November 16 & 23
  • Fun with friends on the water! We'll sail Sabots, Lasers, CFJ/C420, O'Pen Skiffs, 29ers, the Hobie Wave, and the Capri 22! Focus is on fun while learning and reinforcing fundamental sailing skills that include knot-tying, weather, seamanship, Marine Science and loads more practical life skills!

  • Class will be split into two groups based on age and experience:

    • Rockstars: ~age 5-8​

    • Adventurers: ~age 9+

"Believe me my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats" - Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

​Beginning/Intermediate Sabots | ~Ages 6-12
Wednesdays | 3:30pm - 6:30pm ​| Max 10 Sailors
  • 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 Sabot Racing ~ C Monsters!!
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.

​Beginning/Intermediate Lasers
Wednesdays | 3:30pm - 6:30pm​| Max 4 Sailors
  • This is where you start if you're a preteen/teenager and ready to explore singlehanded sailing in a Laser. Whether you are brand new to the boat or building on basic sailing experience, this class blends foundational skills with intermediate techniques to help you feel confident and in control. Sailors learn to rig and launch their own boats, practice tacking, gybing, and begin to understand how sail trim and body position affect boat speed. 

 

High School Sailing Team Development Program
Mondays & Wednesdays | 3:30pm - 6:30pm ​
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.
