Sailing School
Sailing is one of the most exciting sports in the world, and its appeal reaches from one corner of the globe to another. Millions of people are interested in learning to sail, but many simply don't believe they have what it takes to become an accomplished sailor. It is our mission at OCSC to dispel that idea, and turn anyone with enthusiasm and the desire to learn into a competent and capable skipper.
The Basics of Sailing
Even if you have little to no experience on a sailboat, our program is designed to give you comprehensive instruction on the basics of sailing and seamanship. We teach you not only the actual art of sailing, but we also devote seminars and classroom time to understanding the Right of Way laws, safety equipment, line and sail handling, and all of the other techniques you need to learn. In just a few hours, you'll be able to find your way around the boat with ease and confidence.
Our fleet is the largest on the West Coast, and the diversity of our vessels gives you a wealth of options. You will be able to hone your skills on our smallest keelboats to our largest sport yachts. Each course focuses on the techniques and skills needed to skipper your own boat of any size.
Earning your certification with us can also permit you to skipper boats in waters around the world. Have you ever wanted to sail in Tahiti or even the Caribbean? With the skills you learn and the certification you earn at OCSC, you'll be able to navigate waters wherever sailboats enjoy the sea.
