PSA is an instructional sailing program for juniors, ages 8 and up.
It is conducted from late June to mid-August. There are two 3 week sessions during the season; each session is divided into morning and afternoon classes. Morning classes typically are for beginners and junior sailors ages 8 to 11, when the winds are the lightest. Afternoon classes are for older returning sailors.
PSA is all about FUN on the water and teaching many important life lessons along the way � sailing/racing skills, adapting to the forces of nature, personal responsibility and sportsmanship, to name a few. There are regatta opportunities for those that are interested.
Classes are conducted in Prams, Optimists, C/C 420s and O'pen BICs. Boat ownership is not required.
The PSA Director is supported by eight certified US Sailing instructors also trained in first aid and CPR.
