Make time this summer to get out for a fun sail and enjoy the camaraderie with other women on the water!
This is a social sail—you can enjoy a relaxed evening or morning on the water, with as much or as little instruction as you’d like!
(These sails will have no more than 4 people, and must have a minimum of 2 people. Group reservations are encouraged as well!)
You will have a dedicated helmswoman aboard but everyone is encouraged to take the helm if they are interested!
Cancellation Policy: Cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance to receive a full refund minus a $20 administrative fee.
Rescheduling: Life & weather happen. If you need to reschedule, contact Amie’s E-MAIL call, or text. If it has not been possible to reschedule a lesson, refunds may be given. (Refunds will not be given if the instructor has made significant effort to provide a new time slot and the participant is unreasonable in rescheduling the lesson. If refunds are granted, they will be a full refund minus a $20 administrative fee.)

About our Boats
J/22: The J/22 is a responsive, stable, and safe small keelboat with a fixed lead keel. The boat appeals to all ages and skill levels. It has a mainsail and a jib, but can be sailed under mainsail only, meaning more opportunities to sail when most others stay home. It holds 3-4 people comfortably, 5 if some are small.
J/7: The 23’ J/7 is a modern design daysailer with huge, sit-in cockpit, easy-to-handle sail plan, and built-in stability that’s second to none in the size range. This is the perfect sized daysailer – roomy enough to bring the whole gang. The J/7 couldn’t be simpler. With one hand on the tiller and the other on the main sheet, one can happily sail for hours on end in a wide variety of conditions and only under main, meaning more opportunities to sail when most others stay home. It holds up to 5 people comfortably.
