If you are new to sailing start with one of the beginner I sailing lessons. You are taught basic sailing skills by a highly qualified staff that is overseen by our US Sailing certified instructors. The classes include on-the-water and on-shore training. Be prepared to set sail on the first day! Topics include: rigging, knots, sailing theory, and boating safety.

Regatta Point is a US Sailing certified facility, so the rating you earn here and transfers elsewhere. Sailors earn ratings by taking classes and passing certifications that enable guest privileges, access to equipment, sail a larger portion of the lake (including the south end) and take out high performance boats. As you earn different levels, US Sailing will issue you national certification.

Been awhile since you were on the water? Take a refresher class.
