What if there is inclement weather?
Unfortunately weather conditions do not always allow for on the water lessons. Safety is our number one priority. If inclement weather conditions are forecasted we may cancel the class by sending out an email the night before. However, shoreside classes will be held on most days when sailing is restricted. We typically sail on rainy days unless there is excessive wind. |
