Adult Clinics
AYC offers a variety of half-day and full-day clinics for beginning to advanced level sailors. Our clinics are designed to educate sailors through both classroom discussion and hands-on training on the water.
Smallboat Introduction to Sailing Series
The Austin Yacht Club offers a Smallboat Introduction to Sailing Series during the the fall and spring. During this class, students sail in our fleet of Flying Juniors (FJs). This class is geared towards adults, and is open to all skill levels, from beginners with no sailing experience to more accomplished sailors just looking to experience dinghy sailing. For Junior Sailing information, please visit our Junior Sailing Program page. Our Sailing Series classes are held Sunday mornings from 11am-1pm. Each series will feature five days of sailing.
