The Sandwich Recreation Department’s Youth Sailing programs are designed to teach students to sail in a safe, fun, and noncompetitive environment; building a young sailor’s confidence so that they feel comfortable and secure on the water. The program incorporates lessons on land and water to develop comprehensive fundamental sailing abilities. We emphasize water safety and boat care while helping participants gain self-esteem and confidence. Our goal is to make all our sailors feel comfortable, safe and secure on the water at all times.
**All Sailors must be able to pass a basic swim test

Level 1 - This is a group for sailors with very little or no experience. The focus of the class will be on parts of the boat, boating safety, and basic boat handling.
Level 2 - Sailor should have at least 1 year sailing experience or have   successfully completed the level I sailing class. Less time will be spent on learning parts of the boat and more time will be spent on boat handling.
