First-time sailors of all ages as well as more experienced skippers are invited to join the fun. 'Round-the-harbor sailing trips will be conducted by Center members and staff aboard boats ranging in length from 23 to 40 feet. Complimentary refreshments will be served.

Teaching staff will be available to answer questions about the Center's learn to sail programs and about specific aspects of sailing in local waters.
