SHYC is a multi-generational jr. sailing program that has been providing sailing experiences for more than 50 years.  Our mission is to spark a love of sailing in youth and nurture their confidence and skills on the water.  Our programs are designed to introduce our youngest participants (starting at age 6) to sailing, and to carry out their sailing education summer over summer, whether it be for adventure or sailboat racing.  See the links below to learn more about our specific programs from Sea Squirts to Race Team.

Here is the 2025 detailed description of all offered classes.

Here is the 2025 schedule (subject to change based on class allocations and coach availability).

Our program is traditionally limited to members only but there are opportunities for non-members based on space and availability.
