A&F Sailing: Private Lesson Package

Purchase 7 hours of private lessons and get an 8th for free! This is usually enough instruction for a student to gain a solid foundation of sailing skills and prep them for a Livery Checkout. This is a great option for new sailors who have a more restricted schedule as lessons are offered throughout the week at a variety of times.

Once purchased, you will receive more information in the mail regarding scheduling your lessons within 3-5 business days. Please make sure your address is correct.

Select from the options below. Membership will be verified.

Private lesson packages expire 1 year from date of purchase.

REGISTRATION POLICIES

Courses are filled on a first-come, first-served basis so we recommend early registration. For the latest listings and additional course information, please check our website at www.cwb.org. The Center for Wooden Boats keeps class size small to promote quality instruction and experience. If a program is full, you can put your name on a wait list. We will contact you if a space opens up.

Cancellation Policy

For all course registrations, including youth classes, the following cancellation policy applies. For private sailing lessons, the cancellation policy outlined at the time of booking and in the confirmation email is enforced.

• Cancellation/change outside of 30 days = full refund less $15 admin fee.
• Cancellation/change within 30 – 7 days prior to start date = a $15 admin fee and tuition credit for the remaining amount towards a course within the same calendar year. There is no refund.
• Cancellation/change within 7 days of start date = 50% tuition credit of course fee available towards a course within the same calendar year.
• No refund or credit available after the class has started

Because of this policy, we strongly urge you to buy refundable airline tickets or flight insurance. CWB will not be responsible for any loss on non-refundable airline tickets. In case of emergency or insufficient number of registrations, CWB reserves the right to cancel a course and refund the participants in full.

Course Details

Upon receipt of payment, The Center for Wooden Boats will provide participants with relevant course information, including itinerary, materials list, suggested tools list, clothing list, accommodations, directions and other pertinent information. Please read the information carefully before coming to class. Materials costs are included in course fees unless otherwise noted in the course description. We supply tools needed for courses, but encourage students to bring their own for certain courses.

"Pay What You Can" - Financial Assistance for Youth

We list suggested prices for our youth programs and simply ask that you pay what you can. The cost of each class is reflected in its suggested price; however, financial assistance is available. Please complete the online form at http://www.cwb.org/pwyc to request a discounted price. For questions, please contact pwyc@cwb.org. If you are in a position to pay more than the suggested price, any additional funds will contribute directly to making youth programs more widely accessible.
