Leadership

Instructors sailing a Bahia

The Community Boating Instructor Training Program aspires to develop the next generation of young leaders for our communities. At the heart of our program is curriculum designed to build concrete leadership skills that will empower our instructors to become our future senior staff and successful, productive adults.

Teamwork

Sailing requires individuals to work together as harmonious teams and gives them the opportunity to overcome challenges together.

Critical Thinking

Teaching Sailing facilitates strategic planning and enhances problem solving skills.

Communication

By leading their crew aboard a sailboat and giving chalk-talks in the class room, instructors will strengthen their communication skills.

Decision Making

Wind shifts and the unpredictability of young students require developing smart and timely decision-making.
