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. Please call us at (262) 997-9343 to discuss your private lessons.
Cost: $350
