Home-schooled Sailing Program

Austin Sailboat Rentals has just completed their third year at successfully teaching over 2,000 + kids how to sail. We are launching a Spring Home Schooled | Home-schooled Sailing Program on Lake Austin for kids that want to learn how to sail or continue sailing into the spring.

Our spring curriculum includes teaching home schooled | home-schooled kids 8 to 16 years old how to sail safely and the right way.  If your child already knows how to sail, then we’ll work on better sailing techniques and/or racing rules and maneuvers. We are offering Home Schooled | Home-schooled Sailing every Wednesday from  1 pm to 3 pm, during the months of March, April and May.  The cost is $25 for two hours of sailing each Wednesday.  

If you are interested in our Home Schooled | Home-schooled Sailing Program, please fill out the online register form and also make an online deposit.  Your $50 deposit will be applied towards the first two Wednesdays of sailing.  If raining or below 60 degrees, we will not have Home Schooled | Home-schooled Sailing, and will either issue you a credit towards a future Wednesday, or a full refund, which every you request.
