Women's Clinic: The Women's Sailing Clinic is designed to specifically give adult women, of all ages and skill levels, the opportunity to learn to sail, or to refine previous sailing skills, at the Jetties Sailing Center. Focus is placed on teaching and reviewing the fundamentals, as well as introducing students to the basics of racing. Key goals of the class include building confidence and ensuring that students are comfortable on the water. Classes are taught primarily in Rhodes 19s or Marshall 15s with an instructor and 2-3 students on board. Women's Clinic meets weekly each Tuesday from 2pm to 4pm. The cost is $75 per session.

Advanced Women's Clinic: The Advanced Women's Clinic will be offered to a small group of women who should be comfortable sailing without and instructor. Women will sail in groups of 2-3 in our Rhodes 19s while instructors will coach from a power boat and will meet Mondays from 9am to 12:00noon. The cost is $125 per session.

Tiny Salts: Join NCS for a unique program, Tiny Salts, for toddlers ages 2, 3 and young 4 year olds. On Tuesdays, from either 9:00AM to 10:00AM or 10:30AM to 11:30AM, we'll introduce your child to sailboats, kayaks, paddleboards, the seashore and more. We'll meet at our Jetties Sailing Center and children must be accompanied by a caregiver - and both the child and the caregiver should plan to get wet, as we jump in and out of boats, sing sailing songs, and learn some new 'sailing' words! The cost per session is $25.

In 2024, NCS will be offering three Thursday sessions during the summer (7/11, 7/25, 8/8).
