One question we often get asked is: what makes more sense to sign up for... morning sailing school or afternoon race classes?

👉 The answer is: you can do both... if it's what sounds good for you or your kid! You'll get something out of each kind of class.

⛵Morning class is focused on maximum on water time. It's a fun way to get some sailing experience under your belt with friends.

⛵Afternoon class is taking the skills you practice in morning classes and fine tuning them, while focusing on racing.

Choose what works with your goals and your schedule. Registration is open! Grab the link in the comments.

Curious if our X Boat Racers class is for you?

This class is designed for both skippers and crew with previous racing experience, as well as motivated sailors ready to take their skills to the next level. This class features a blend of group and one-on-one coaching. Each of the 7 weeks offers new and varied lessons, so students can join for individual weeks or register for the entire season for the full experience.

👉 The X-boat is a hard-chined, pointed bow, center-board boat that was designed primarily as a safe and uncomplicated trainer for beginning sailors and racers. Over the years, this same basic design has provided thousands of sailors with their start in the sport and it continues to be the predominant club racer in the Midwest exclusively for boys and girls up to 16 years of age.
