Training programs for Juniors and Adults.

Windycrest Sailing Club has a long tradition of excellence in junior sailing in the southwest region of the country. For over 50 years Windycrest has been training junior sailors that participate in CSSA regional events, US Sailing Junior Championships, sail in collegiate programs, and pursue our sport after reaching adulthood. We also offer adult training programs for beginning and novice sailors. Occasionally we have seminars and courses for advanced cruising and racing sailors. Windycrest training programs strives to improve your sailing skills regardless of your level of expertise, allowing you to reach you sailing goals. All WSC training is overseen by US Sailing certified instructors. The Club owns Optimist, Sabot, Sunfish, Club 420, and Laser fleets for training purposes.

If you are interested in learning to sail, the Windycrest training programs are a great place to start. It is a fun, low key, inexpensive place to begin. Minimum age to participate is 8 years old, and you're never too old to learn. Contact the Windycrest Rear Commodore for complete details on how you can get started enjoying the lifelong sport of sailing.

Adult Sailing

The Adult Training Coordinator for 2022 Blake Kelso - Emergency Medical Authorization

Michael and his group of helpers are looking to help beginning and novice sailors and boat owners be comfortable and safe from the time they cast off until they return to the dock.

You will be using and critiquing your own boat and systems. Safely approach and depart docks and anchorages. Learn better boat and sailing handling.

The training group will strive to be flexible enough to cater to your individual needs and skills.

Send Michael an email if you think you need a little help taking your sailing to the next level.
