High Performance Pathways …the present and future for sailing at RHADC. Here…

Our Junior Sailing Program provides sailing lessons year round to all levels from Introduction to the sport, to Learn to Sail and Advanced Racing.

It is our basic goal to teach children how to sail and love this great sport, one of a few lifetime sports. We want to make sure they have a great time not only enjoying what they’re doing but also learning about respect, safety, responsibility, commitment and self confidence. Sailing is a sport recreational activity which teaches children independence, resilience and leadership skills, provides developmental benefits that are unequaled in most other activities.

We offer courses on different types of boats – Optimists, O’pen Bics, 420’s, Lasers & Nacras. We have different levels to accommodate the children’s ages and sailing skills. Sailors can start getting their feet wet at a very young age – 5 to 6 years old, and as they get older and more experienced, they are introduced into racing.

Finally, we do not only introduce them into racing, we also coach them at a high international level. Our sailing program is very proud about the achievements of our sailors. These include USA Optimist National Champions, Bermuda National Team Sailors, Bermuda Optimist National Championships, O’pen Bic World & North American Champions, and Olympic participation.

Having your family participate in our sailing programs will be very rewarding. Let us help introduce you to the sport, and take you as far as you want to go.
