Welcome to the ABYC Adult Sailing Program

If you are an active adult and want to learn how to sail, look no further.  ABYC offers one of the best learn-to-sail programs on the West Coast.


About the Program


As a Yacht Club primarily made up of sailors, ABYC knows that laying the right foundation will set you up to become a lifelong sailor. Working with the Tempest Fleet, ABYC has developed a premier teaching program that is designed to make our students successful. Students will have four full days of instructional time, including about 10 hours of private, one-on-one sailing with their instructor on the water. This class is open to all ABYC Members as well as non-member parties that have an ABYC Member sponsoring them.

You will be learning how to sail in an International Tempest, a fun and exciting 22-foot keelboat. If you are and active adult and want to learn how to sail, look no further. ABYC offers one of the best learn-to-sail programs on the west coast. For more information on the ABYC Tempest fleet, please go to www.usitalongbeach.org
