"Believe me my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats" - Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows
​​
​
​Beginning/Intermediate Sabots | ~Ages 6-12
Sundays | 1:00pm - 4:00pm ​| Max 10 Sailors
​
-
This is where you start if you are 6-12 years old with little to no sailing experience but are comfortable in and around the water. Kids sail solo in Sabots aided by instructors in coach boats. It's not uncommon that kids repeat this class for a year or two depending on how young they are to start.​​
​Beginning Sabot Racing ~ C Monsters!!
Fridays | 3:30pm - 5:30pm
Saturdays | 1:00pm - 4:00pm ​
-
This is the next step for sailors who have become comfortable in Beginning Sabots and are interested in learning more about racing. After this you're ready for our MBYC Race Team! Along with weekly practices, we have weekend club races or "regattas" called the Screaming Chickens, a fun way to experience racing for the first time right at home.

Middle & High School Sailors​
-
Designed for Middle & High School students interested in learning how to sail and getting into Scholastic Sailing.
-
This is where to start if you're interested in joining your school's Sailing Team or have a small team.

This is a great place to start if your school wants to create a team. No experience needed!

Teams will compete at regattas separately, but by combining at practices, allows for more affordable pricing and a more quality training experience.
