GRSC Sailing School Program

The goal of the GRSC Sailing School Program is to promote sailing and provide the opportunity to sail on Lake Michigan. Students will participate in at least three interactive classroom lessons taught by experienced sailors. Students will graduate to Monday Night Lite Racing with at least three on the water outings. Indoor classes are tentatively scheduled from 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm at the GRSC Clubhouse.
