Sailing instruction for 2007 will be limited to private instruction on an as available basis. Private lessons suit those that can’t commit to a fixed class schedule, or know how to sail but want to improve in one or more maneuvers, or who simply want to learn in a one-on-one or personalized setting. Each session runs between 1 1/2 and 2 hours (weather dependent). Private lessons are typically given on Flying Scots, but may be given on Lasers or a keelboat in special circumstances. For 2007, private lessons will cost $40 per session for one student, $50 for two, $55 for three, $60 for four and $65 for five. Your entire family can learn together using the private lesson format. Contact the Instruction Coordinator, Ron Hosie at 685 3475 for more information. And as a special incentive to join our great club, 75% of instruction fees can be deducted from your membership fees this year

Skaneateles Country Club - www.skaneatelescc.com/sailschool.

The Skaneateles Country Club Sailing Committee offers a full sailing program to the SCC community and the public at large. We offer classes geared for youths 7 years to 18 years as well as adult classes. The staff is made up of U.S. Sail Certified Instructors. All staff are CPR and First Aid certified and ready to meet the needs of both adults and youths.

Some of our activities include:
Apple race: Kids sailed the boats and tried to retrieve as many apples as they could that had been tossed in the lake by the instructors. They were even allowed to swim their boats to the apples but a person in the boat had to pick the apple out of the water.
Interclub Race: Sailors from Fair Haven Yacht Club, Rochester Yacht Club, Willowbank Yacht Club, and Youngstown Yacht Club came to Skaneateles to compete in Lasers, 420's and DC's.

Classes are offered at the following levels:
Beginner: This class is designed to provide the novice with a general introduction to sailing.
Intermediate: This class is designed to continue the basic skills developed in the Beginner program. The specific focus will be on the skills needed to function as both a skipper and a crew.
Advanced/Racing: This class is geared to the sailor with a commitment to refining moderate to advanced sailing/racing abilities and knowledge. Teamwork is a major component, as each sailor will learn to function as a team member.
Adult: This class offers options for the adult sailor. Focus will be on basics of rigging, small boat handling, points of sail, terminology, capsize and recovery, man overboard drills, basic knot tying and classroom lectures. We are flexible for experienced and novice sailors.
Learn to Sail 3-Pack: Three 1 1/2 hour semi-private sailing lessons July 5th to August 11th 2006, Monday — Friday. By appointment only
