Women’s Sailing Program 2025

It's Almost Here!

We are excited to announce that the Essex Yacht Club is continuing the tradition of offering a sailing program exclusively for women members aged 18 and over. The program will be taught by two experienced Certified Level One instructors, and we have eight ideal 18-foot keel sailboats available for use.

Sessions Offered
Two 8-week sessions focused on learning how to sail.
Two 4-week sessions focused on advanced sailing skills and racing. 

We welcome sailors of all levels.

Each class will emphasize consistent practice, breaking down complex maneuvers into smaller, manageable steps. We’ll encourage feedback, prioritize tasks, minimize distractions, and set clear, achievable goals to track your progress.
