PMYC Sailing School 2026 | For the FUN of Sailing

Vanguard I and II Class

Note - we are no longer accepting registrations for Vanguard I; registration for Vanguard II is still open.

This class welcomes teens who are new to sailing, new to V‑15s, or already experienced in the boat. Sailors of all levels will build competence and confidence in boat‑handling, seamanship, and sailing theory. Students will deepen their understanding of the wind and water while continuing to develop confidence across a range of conditions. V-15 sailors often take day trips to places like Indianola dock and Fay Bainbridge Park, which gives firsthand experience with tides, current, and wind shadows. Sailors with limited experience will be paired with advanced V‑15 sailors during on‑the‑water sessions, creating a supportive environment where peer leadership and hands‑on learning help everyone progress.

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

Future Instructor Training Program (NEW in 2025)

After a successful pilot program, we're offering advanced V-15 sailors another opportunity to experience what being an instructor at PMYC Sailing School is all about. You will learn the basics of instruction and help facilitate learning for new teen sailors on and off the water--all with the guidance and support of your V-15 instructors and the Sailing School leaders.
