Welcome
to Atlantic Challenge's Community Sailing Program! We offer evening,
afternoon, and weekend sailing opportunties for adults 15 and
up. Rockland harbor provides some of the most fantastic
sailing conditions in the state, with a variety of wind and weather
conditions suitable for learning to sail. We have a diverse fleet
of traditional and modern keel boats to give you a wide and varied
experience.
Our
curriculum is based on the US Sailing/Red Cross “Start
Sailing Right!” text-book, a great resource for beginning
sailors. Start Sailing Right will be given to all beginning
adult sailors prior to the start of their class. Intermediate
sailors can purchase the book at AC (discount to particiants).
Volunteer
adult instructors share their knowledge in a relaxed and hands-on
environment where you begin rigging and sailing the boat right
from the start. Learning by doing is the key
concept in all of our courses.

“We rigged the
boat and immediately went out to sail. In my opinion, this is
the best way to learn. I believe the instructor gave just the
right amount of direction to allow us independence. Enjoyed the
opportunity to sail 2 different vessels – the Cape Dory
and the Bristol 24. This adds a good deal to the experience.”
