We're excited to welcome you to our classes focused on small, traditional wooden boats. Right now we are offering Traditional Wooden Boat Sailing, with more classes to come.
Our classes are offered in partnership with the Sausalito Parks & Recreation Department. Click here to view availability and enroll.
Our Sailing Summer Camp is designed for children ages 10 to 14 who are eager to learn how to sail small boats. Campers will gain a strong foundation in sailing fundamentals while prioritizing safety and having fun on the water.
In addition to hands-on sailing instruction, campers will enjoy games and interactive lessons covering maritime history, local marine life, weather patterns, and traditional boat construction. No prior sailing experience is required; however, participants should feel comfortable being in and around the water.
Campers should bring a bag lunch, sunscreen, and a water bottle. Snacks and all other equipment will be provided.
Scholarships are available for Marin families, on a rolling basis, for those that qualify as low income (or less) on the Marin Housing guidelines. If your family does not qualify under income guidelines but have special circumstances and are in need we encourage you to apply and outline those circumstances.

In this two day class, students will learn to row and sail Charlie Merrill, a 17-foot traditional Swampscott Dory. In addition to rowing instruction, students will gain an understanding of tides and weather on Richardson Bay and general water safety. The class will also cover basic knot tying, traditional boat terminology, and provide an introduction to seamanship on Richardson Bay. At the end of the class students will have the option to take a test that will qualify them to rent boats for rowing and sailing on Richardson Bay.
