Small Group Adult Sailing Lessons June-July 2025
Small Group Adult Lessons at Columbia Sailing Club
Small group adult lessons at Columbia Sailing Club provide an excellent opportunity to learn fundamental sailing skills while enjoying time on the water. Each lesson is tailored to the skill level of the participants, ensuring an engaging and fulfilling experience. Build confidence and sailing knowledge in the most efficient way possible. Register with your partner, friend, or family member for an unforgettable experience that will launch you into a lifetime of sailing!
During these lessons, you will learn the basics of sailboat handling, including steering, trimming sails, understanding points of sail, and reading wind direction. You’ll also gain hands-on experience with rigging and de-rigging a boat, docking and departing safely, and practicing basic maneuvers such as tacking and gybing. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refresh your skills, our experienced instructors will provide personalized coaching to help you reach your sailing goals.
Lessons are held on keelboats and small dinghies, offering a well-rounded experience that builds both your confidence and your understanding of different types of sailboats.
Tuesdays from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Registration is limited for each session to ensure optimal learning opportunities for every sailor.
Each sailor must submit their own registration.
For any questions, please contact: cscsailingdirector@gmail.com.
*Once the class itself concludes at 8:00, please note that a CSC club member must be on site at all times and is responsible for securing the premises upon their departure.
Payments and Refund/Withdrawal Policy:
Online payment is due and required at the time of online registration. The CSC Sailing Director is not able to process offline registrations, nor can they accept cash or check.
Please be sure of your schedule and availability when you register for a program. Our programs are staffed based on the allotted capacity and sell out weeks to months in advance. Last-minute withdrawals do not allow time for the available program spot to filled, thereby preventing someone else from enjoying the sailing program.
As such and in the interest of fair and equitable application of this policy, exceptions to the refund policy will not be made for unexpected scheduling conflicts, changes of plan, changes of heart, etc.
Refund availability and amount refunded or credited for any camp, class, clinic, session, program, etc. will strictly follow the policy below.
Weather Postponement/Rain-out Policy/Insufficient registration numbers
Each session consists one Tuesday evening class, and the intention is to keep that schedule. However, if inclement weather causes the instructors to cancel a session, the instructor may reschedule
for a later date, or refund the registration fee.
If fewer than 2 participants register for a session the registration may be moved to a later date or refunded.
Keelboat Sailing:
Keelboat Sailing sessions postponed due to weather will be rescheduled to soonest available weekend. Every attempt will be made to provide the full value of the course to each sailor, but individual makeup days will not be available.
We continuously watch the forecast, radar, and waterfront conditions to make a reasonable assessment of the weather and will contact each participant ASAP if a weather cancellation is necessary. Summer storms tend to be isolated, so it may be storming at CSC, but not in other parts of Columbia, and vice versa.
