Starter Sailor / Save The Bay Experience (full-day program)
For our younger and/or first-time sailors, the morning will be spent learning first hand the fun of sailing. Our young new sailors will learn about boats, experience sailing with instructors and begin to develop a comfort level with boats. Following a morning of sail, the youngsters will take a boat ride to the neighboring Save The Bay Center for a fun-filled afternoon of Bay-centered activities, fostering a love of Narragansett Bay in our youngest bay-stewards. Featuring, for example, bay-exploration, playing the role of lobsterman for the day, or learning about creatures of the bay! Classes meet full-day Monday through Friday 9:00 (drop-off at Edgewood Sailing School) to 4:00pm (pick-up at Save The Bay Center). This program is being run in cooperation between Edgewood Sailing School and Save The Bay, Inc. of Providence, Rhode Island.
