The Nantucket Yacht Club seasonal instructor team is composed of a group of highly qualified, energetic, and professional instructors. All of our instructors are certified to teach and coach sailing - whether by US Sailing, the Irish Sailing Association or equivalent. They are additionally certified in First Aid, CPR and SafeSport. Many of our instructors are top sailors on college sailing teams and/or sail recreationally or competitively in their free time all over the world. Some NYC instructors learned to sail right here on Nantucket and bring a wealth of local knowledge. Most importantly, all of our instructors love sailing - and love teaching sailing!
Nantucket is consistently windy, and a fun place to train a junior race team. The team travels off-island to compete in a variety of Regional and National level events. We function as part of the All-Island Race Team program, training with Nantucket Community Sailing and Great Harbor Yacht Club, so there are multiple coaches and a solid critical mass of boats on the water every day.
