Adult WeeksGroup Lessons Unfortunately we're cancelling group lessons for summer 2020; however, DCSS typically offers three-day and five-day lessons from 9:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m.to adults of all ability levels. The lessons include classroom chalk talks, on-the-water instruction in Flying Scots, and a capsize demonstration. Beginning sailors will learn the points of sail and basic boat handling. More advanced sailors will learn the use of the spinnaker and sailboat racing. Skipper and crew couples, as well as singles, are welcome. You are welcome to bring your own Flying Scot or use one of the three boats provided by the sailing school. Lessons are taught by U.S. Sailing certified instructors and follow U.S Sailing prescribed safety protocol. All sailors must wear life jackets at all times on or near the water. Be sure to check out our “what to bring” section. Tuition Five days $400 and three days $350. Private Lessons Private lessons will continue this summer. Three-hour lessons can be arranged for adults in Flying Scots and Lasers. Learn more.

All gear should be in a duffle bag and every item should be labeled with the sailor’s name. Any clothing or gear left in the sailing school room will be placed in the lost and found. Sailors should plan to wear a bathing suit, shorts and T-shirt and bring the following:
Interested in Racing? DCSS students who are learning to race or advancing their racing skills may be invited to participate in Wednesday evening races; however, regular weekend racing requires membership in Deep Creek Yacht Racing Association (DCYRA). DCYRA has made some provisions for guest racers during holiday weekends, and students are encouraged to learn more about that by talking to their DCSS instructor. Required Forms for Adults
