PMYC Sail School is an annual event which introduces new generations of children to the sailing life and importantly, the PMYC community and spirit. It aspires to be more than just a simple learn to sail program. From the opening day ringing of the bell which launches the program to the closing day festivities and awards ceremony, we seek to inspire each new generation of sailors with an appreciation for the value of sailing though having fun, learning serious stuff, and being safe.

Collaboration and parent support are a part of the program expectations, and there is a strong expectation that parents or guardians provide a minimum of one day of volunteer time in some capacity. Provisions will be made for parents who are not available during the day, but can help out in other ways.

This program is geared toward students who begin sailing in Opti before they are too large to learn in those boats. The Laser and V-15 classes are reserved for children who already have basic sailing competency.

Due to unprecedented member demand for our June Sailing School program, PMYC regrets that we must cancel registration for non-members for the 2022 season.

We suggest those seeking local sailing classes and camps look into the Bainbridge Parks summer camps offerings which are extensive, along with week long classes offered by Poulsbo Yacht Club, which can be found on their Junior Sailing page, located under the Events and Activities tab on their web page.
