Choosing the right sailing school is more than just finding a place to take sailing lessons. Sailing will open up a whole new world for you, your friends and family. You want a facility that gives you the sailing lifestyle as well as the sport.

We at CCYC know this better than anyone. We pioneered the "Sailing Club" concept over 70 years ago. Our focus is to provide you with instant access to every phase of the sport without requiring boat ownership.
