Junior SailingInspiring Young Sailors since 1950
The TAYC Junior Sailing Program has not only inspired new sailing interests but also generations of sailors who have learned to sail and return to teach at TAYC. Our program has prepared sailors who have gone on to collegiate and international sailing careers, and it carries a successful history at regattas on the Chesapeake Bay (and beyond). From basic seamanship to competitive racing, our mission is to provide quality instruction to young people within a safe learning environment and instill lifelong sailing passions. |
Program Dates & Hours - 2023The 2023 TAYC Junior Sailing programs run for 8 weeks, from June 19 – August 10. Classes are held Monday through Friday for some classes, 9:00am – 3:00pm.
