Learn to Sail 2022

This ticket covers all five sessions – only one booking is necessary to secure your spot.

Throughout this five week program, QYC instructors will cover the fundamentals of sailing including:

Points of sail and important terminology
Parts of the boat & rigging
Tacking and jibing
Basic navigation and sail shape control
Pulling away from the dock; returning to the dock
This is the perfect experience for beginner sailors who want to see if sailing is right for them, or simply try a new activity and learn a new skill.

Our Learn to Sail course is taught on a variety of boats that may include Mercurys, Flying Scots, and Day Sailers.

Lessons are recommended for ages 14 and up. Younger sailors may participate in the program with a parent.
