What we’re about
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!
Keep in mind ALL New Sailors are required to take and complete the ASA First Sail free online quiz and bring their results to your first in person Sail nite coming soon. Thank you !!

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