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.

The adult program offers Day, Evening , and Weekend courses aboard modern and traditional keel boats.

We also offer custom, private sailing instruction taught by USCG licensed captains. Your boat or ours. Please contact us for details.

“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.”

- James Murphy, Adult Sailing Student
