Manatee River Youth Sailing - 2026-2027 Homeschool Sailing Program

The MRYS Homeschool Sailing Program is a 4-week, hands-on introduction to sailing designed to build confidence, teamwork, and seamanship skills in a fun and supportive environment. Meeting twice weekly, students progress from basic water safety and boat familiarity to independently steering, trimming sails, and maneuvering a sailboat.
Through a structured, game-based approach, our new sailors develop an understanding of wind, boat control, and cooperative sailing while gaining valuable time on the water. By the end of the program, they will feel comfortable and capable aboard a sailboat, with the skills and confidence to continue growing as sailors.
