Classic Cruising program
Ages 6 - 13
Started 15 years ago at the urging of a friend and parent who wanted me to take her daughter sailing for a week. I asked her if she could fill my boat with 6 kids, and so the Adventure Sailing School began.
The Classic Cruising program uses large 24 foot Sailing sloops.
The focus is on getting the kids acclimated to being on a river that flows both ways, as well as become familiar with boat geography, how to raise and lower the sails, how to navigate a busy river, and most importantly to empower our students to be able to enjoy sailing on the Hudson River safely and efficiently!

Racing Program
Ages 13 and up
This program forms the second part of our teaching progression. The focus is on the students acquiring the technical knowledge to sailing solo on 14 foot dinghies.
Racing vastly accelerates the learning process as the kids can compare their skills on the race course.
Our philosophy is simple: as the kids get bigger, the boats get smaller. Teenagers are strong enough to sail these boats by themselves and make the proper decisions necessary to sail on a busy and unpredictable Hudson River.
On windless days we have the kids do paddle races as well as water sports! These include tubing, slalom kneeboarding, and wake surfing !
This program is limited to 4 spots per week, 2 per boat.
