Sailing 101

In association with the Claytor Lake State Park, CLSA offers a Sailing 101 program.

Sailing 101 sessions are 2 hour sails on a small (<25') sailboat, typically originating from the State Park marina.
The sessions are led by volunteer members of CLSA and take place on either the CLSA club boat or a member-owned boat.

Sessions cover sailing basics, such as:

• Parts of the boat and sail
• Points of sail
• Safety protocol and emergency procedures
• Sailing terminology

Sailing 101 is a great way to get an introduction to sailing and Claytor Lake! 

Sailing 101 is not intended to be a comprehensive lesson and participants receive no formal certification. Participants who enjoy their experience may opt to seek out further sailing education, join CLSA, or even purchase their own boat...
