Mystic Seaport Adult Sailing Classes

While our group of volunteers will do their best to help members learn to sail, please consider taking adult beginner sailing lessons given by professionals at

Mystic Seaport. They offer both coed and women’s classes each summer. Capacity is limited. Find more information at Mystic Seaport - Sailing.

The program is run by fellow frostbite racer Liz Sistare. ECYC member Diane Stark is an instructor – contact her at dianstrk@aol.com if you want to learn more.
