KEUKA YACHT CLUB'S JUNIOR SAILING PROGRAM
Keuka Yacht Club's Junior Sailing Program is one of the oldest
in the United States. Founded during WWII, KYC continues the philosophy
that sailing is an excellent way for children to learn self-reliance,
self-esteem, and sportsmanship
Today, KYC's Jr. Sailing Program is a U.S. Sailing approved
program (U.S. Sailing is the agency governing sailing and yacht
racing in the United States, including the Olympics.) Our Head
Instructor is a U.S. Sailing Level One Certified Instructor. We
believe that sailing should be good education, a source of personal
satisfaction, and fun.
There are four two-week sessions, from 9 am-12 noon, Monday
- Thursday, with an exception for session 3.
Classes are small, only twelve students per class.
In addition, this year we will feature a racing session in the
