This introductory course for adults will teach you the basics of sailing. Prior to the first class you will be sent a link to an online, self-paced lesson to familiarize you with boat parts and sailing terminology.

Family Courses
Family Sailing Courses
Family sessions are scheduled individually with the instructor and will consist of approximately 15 hours of instruction. We typically scheduled 3-hour classes over five weeks, but we are flexible and will do our best to accommodate your schedule. Please call us, if you would like to discuss your scheduling needs prior to registering.
Families are considered to be one person over 21 and up to 3 other people. Participants are introduced to a variety of boats large enough for an entire family or small enough for single-handed sailing. Pending the interest of family members, training in the operation of powered safety boats can be included.
Call us by phone (262) 997-9343 to schedule your classes.

Private Courses
Private Sailing Lessons
KCSC recognizes people are working with complex scheduling issues. We can arrange private lessons for anyone of any age. Schedules can be set up as needed by the student. This method of learning can work well for the person who has experience sailing, but it has been a while and they need refreshing; the more advanced student who wants to work intensely to increase specific skills; or someone who wants something other than group instruction.
Call us by phone (262) 997-9343 to schedule your classes.

Group Courses
Boy Scouts & Other Youth Group Sailing Courses
Boy Scouts may work with a Boy Scout Counselor toward a sailing merit badge. Scouts will learn about safety, boat parts, rigging, knots, sailing terminology, and points of sail. On-the-water instruction includes tacking and gybing, steering, boat balance, launching, docking, and capsize recovery. We can also customize classes for other youth groups based on your needs. Please call to learn more.
