About us

This group is for all adults who are interested in sailing but don't know where to start... well this is a great place to do it!

No prior sailing experience is necessary, but any boating experience is good!

There is NO charge for this event. All Skippers and Mentors are volunteers looking to share their love of Sailing with New and Returning Adult Sailors!

We'll be meeting on Thursday nights starting in June at the Genesee Yacht Club down in the Port of Rochester Genesee river basin on the Irondequoit side.

We have several GYC Mentoring Skippers ready to take new sailors out for some hands-on experience sailing a variety of boats - and hope that our new sailors will be full of questions and ready to learn about the sport of sailing.

This is truly as hands-on as you want it to be - you'll be able to trim the sails, take the helm, and learn about boat-speak, as well as learn boater-safety and some of the rules of the road when out on the water.

However if in the event of a small craft advisory is issued or active thunderstorms in the area the event will be cancelled for that week.

If a session is full make sure to keep checking in up to that nite as more openings can happen as we add boats and skippers the number of New Sailors we can accommodate for any specific week may increase !!!
