Adult Sailing Program
Fee: $200 per adult, plus membership fee

The Adult Sailing Program meets Saturday mornings for classroom and practical training. The program is open to any Cohasset resident age 17 and older. Participants need not have any prior sailing experience, as a team of certified instructors will teach the basics of seamanship and boating safety. Each participant will be required to pass a swimming test.

Each participant is responsible for bringing their own US Coast Guard approved Type III or V life jacket to each class. Life jackets must be worn while on the water.
