The  Community Boating Center is offering lessons for adults on both weekday evenings or on weekends.  Taught safely in Sonar keelboats, CBC is proud to offer classes that will follow the US Sailing Keelboat Training Curriculum.  Adults of all ages can learn the basics of sailing right here in New Bedford.

The Beginner Keelboat class is 8 hours of hands on instruction.  Emphasizing safety and fundamentals, a US SAILING certified CBC instructor takes you through four two-hour classes of essential nautical know how.  Master the basis: equipment and safety, parts of the boat, sailing terminology, fundamentals of navigation and more.  Try your hand at the tiller and sheets.  You'll be hooked in no time!

The Intermediate Keelboat Class is 12 hours of hands on instruction.  Upon completing the course participants should have the necessary skills to pass a "checkout" sail, enabling them to rent CBC boats.

Classes are offered in two week sessions with classes on Monday and Wednesday. Students must bring their own lifejackets.   The classes will be using two Sonar keelboats with three or four students and one instructor on each boat.
