The 2010 summer season will run from the middle of June through the end of August, depending on weather. We are currently building another outstanding group of instructors for our upcoming season. Many of our applicants are graduates of our summer sailing programs and the Nantucket High School Sailing Team. We will be offering a full range of private and group sailing programs for children and adults of all ages.
Youth summer sailing programs begin in mid June and run through mid August. Programs are held at our Polpis Harbor location (for children ages 5 to 15) and at the Jetties Sailing Center (Water Sports Camp for ages 7-12 and Sailing Lessons for ages 8-18).
Adult summer programs begin in late-June and run through August, and are held at the Jetties Sailing Center. We offer equipment rentals, group and private instruction. Members of our Jetties Sailing Center receive discounted rates on rentals of our equipment. We also offer a Women's Sailing Clinic on Tuesday evenings, targeted toward women who would like to enhance their sailing skills in a fun and relaxed environment.
In addition to our standard programs, Nantucket Community Sailing partners with other organizations to provide access to the water and sailing opportunities. Some of these groups include:
- AccesSport America, for disabled athletes,
- BigBrothers BigSisters for youth and their "bigs",
- Project Discovery for inner-city youth,
- Egan Maritime Foundation for whaleboat rowing,
- Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe group for outrigger rowing.
