ADULT SAILING
Sea Masters Sailing Center is a fantastic place to learn how to sail or to get back on the water if you are returning to the sport. Adult sailing classes are taught on RS QUEST boats. Our programs provide a structured learning path for the students to follow as they develop their sailing skills from a peaceful light-air dinghy sailing to heavy air high performance racing.
Small boat sailing is a simple, inexpensive way to get started in the sport. The fundamental basics of sailing are most easily learned in small boats. Many small boats are designed specifically for youth, and most provide a lifetime of enjoyment for adults as well. Generally, small boats, are under 25 feet in length. They include a wide assortment of dinghies, daysailers, multihulls, and small keelboats. Because of their size and simplicity, many small sailboats can be sailed by just one,two or three people.
