Private Sailing Lessons for Members

Nyack Boat Club offers members the opportunity to request private sailing lessons with a club-designated instructor on a club-designated Ideal 18 sailboat.  We schedule 2-hour sailing lesson session when boats are not committed to Ideal 18 fleet activities: generally weekdays between 9 am and 4 pm, from about Memorial Day to Labor Day. 

These private sailing lessons are available only to adult members (voting Member including married spouse, Partner Member, or Seasonal Member).  Lessons are only one-on-one (so only one member student in the boat) and intended to focus on basic sailing skills with jib and main only (no flying spinnakers).  

Before requesting a private sailing lesson, please read and understand the Private Sailing Lessons Terms  & Conditions. 

Go to the Private Sailing Lessons event group to find out the weeks for which we're now taking requests and the price and process for scheduling your 2-hour lesson time.
