Who we are


Program we are offering is a series of empowering experiences, which allows boys and girls and adults to do great things on their own. In each of our classes
students will find meaningful opportunities for building self-confidence and
self-discovery. From our beginning lessons to our advanced racing team
lessons the classes offer skills and memories for a lifetime. Topping
it off is the backdrop of our beautiful Lake Michigan shoreline.

Our mission is to assist youth and adults to learning to sailing and water
safety at a reasonable price, and cultivate an appreciation of our natural
resources and birthright, the waters off Sheboygan , Wisconsin.

The season is over and the boats are tucked away – but the Sheboygan Youth Sailing Club is very busy planning for next year’s season. We are revamping our class schedule to offer more flexibility in planning your summer activities (in case you have some other than sailing!). We’ve joined with the YMCA’s Daycare to provide a program exclusively to that group. We’ve joined forces with Sail Sheboygan to offer some new opportunities. We are revamping our website – and here are a few other things we are considering for next year:

  • A webcam on our building so you can watch your students’ progress during class.
  • A US Sailing Power Boat Instructor Certification Course and possibly some Power Boat Courses.
  • We’ve added another Instructor Safety Boat to our boat inventory so we can hold more classes safely.
  • We are purchasing a new computer for our office so we can communicate better with our students and their parents.

We will be hosting a Mid-Winter Event – Keep watching for details.

Upcoming Events


How to become a better sailor? There is an easy answer all of us share – sail. Yes, sail – as much as you can. And if sometimes you can’t, then watch sailing, talk sailing, read sailing…..breathe sailing.

Here is what we plan for 2012. Don’t miss any of it!!
