Learn to Sail Clinics

    St. Augustine Yacht Club is pleased to now offer a Learn to Sail program! 

    The Learn to Sail program was created to provide skill-based clinics for teaching adults how to sail, as well as fine-tuning their basic sailing skills. There are three clinic offerings: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. The three levels of classes are based on experience and designed for someone to participate and progress to the next level. The clinics are designed to be consistent and repeatable, and are led by SAYC US Sailing Certified Instructors/Coaches. All clinic participants will learn to sail on the Club 420 sailboat.

    We will soon be offering a Learn to Sail clinic on the Flying Scot and the Hobie Cat - if you are interested in either of those please contact the SAYC Sail Director, Marissa Burrier, at 904.501.7030. 

    If you would like to attend a clinic, please complete the registration form below, and click Register Now.  You will be redirected to the online store where you will purchase your clinic of choice.  If you are registering for more than one clinic, you will need to complete a registration and online payment for each clinic individually.

    ​IMPORTANT:  You must pay in advance in order to guarantee your spot.  Clinics are held based on registered attendees.  Additional dates will be added if clinics fill up, or clinics will be cancelled/rescheduled if the minimum registration is not met.
