PMYC Sailing School 2026 | For the FUN of Sailing

Opti I Class

An engaging introductory program where new sailors learn the fundamentals of sailing in a fun, supportive, and safety‑focused environment. Through interactive lessons, sailing‑themed games, and plenty of time on the water, sailors will learn the parts of the boat, proper rigging, points of sail, and safe boat‑handling skills. Beginner sailors gain confidence as they explore Hidden Cove and practice steering with the tiller and trimming the mainsheet.

Class size is limited to 10 students. Please add your sailor to the waitlist as we make every effort to accommodate interested students. Questions: Sailing School Registration
