Course Description

The UNH Community Sailing Centre (UNHCSC) offers a variety of sessions for students ages 5-18 of any ability. Sessions are offered in 7, one-week formats, Monday-Friday. Morning sessions run from 9am-12pm. Afternoon sessions run from 12:30-3:30pm

All classes are physical in nature. Sailing is highly conceptual, and students learn at different rates and in different ways. The program allows for these differences by helping kids master the requisite skills at their own pace. Students wear Lifejackets and PFDs (Personal Flotation Devices) at all times while on the docks or in boats. Students in Guppy must provide their own PFD; all other classes can use those provided by the Sailing Centre. Closed-toe shoes must be worn at all times.

Swim Check: Students under the age of 18 are required to pass a swim check at the start of each session. The check is a swim of 25 yards and treading water for 5 minutes. The Guppy check is done with life jackets on and is 15 yards swimming and 2 minutes treading water. Contact diana.weidenbacker@unh.edu if you have any questions about the swim check.
