Education

OWSA offers a variety of educational opportunities for learning how to sail. We offer courses throughout the year. Our courses include sailing basics, motoring, docking and anchoring, racing, handling a spinnaker, and maintaining a sailboat. Our experienced volunteer instructors create a supportive atmosphere where women can become confident and competent, experience the teamwork that goes with sailing, and establish friendships along the way. Join us for a supportive exposure to sailing from beginning to advanced levels. 

Our education classes can also prepare you for other OWSA programs, including Wednesday Night Sails (WNS), Boat Owner and Skipper Training (BOAST), racing and cruising! Take your learning experiences for a sail from summer through fall. If you're a rugged sailor, you can also sail during the winter months.

A list of classes for 2023 can be found on the OWSA Events calendar.
