Junior Sailing

Inspiring Young Sailors since 1950

The TAYC Junior Sailing Program has not only inspired new sailing interests but also generations of sailors who have learned to sail and return to teach at TAYC. Our program has prepared sailors who have gone on to collegiate and international sailing careers, and it carries a successful history at regattas on the Chesapeake Bay (and beyond).

From basic seamanship to competitive racing, our mission is to provide quality instruction to young people within a safe learning environment and instill a lifelong passion for sailing.


Racing

The Race Team and Club Team sailors have the opportunity to attend home regattas and travel to regattas around the Chesapeake Bay region.  TAYC hosts will host two junior regattas this summer, the TAYC Eastern Shore Invitational and the TAYC Junior Regatta.

You do not have to be a member of TAYC for your child to participate in the junior sailing program.  J-TAYC Membership is required for all sailors who are not already members of TAYC.  The cost of J-TAYC membership is $50.00 per Child.  J-TAYC members receive a house account for billing of Jr. Sailing program fees as well as food and drink during camp and Jr. Sailing events like Wednesday night races and the Awards Banquet.  (This requirement does not apply to grandchildren of TAYC members because all fees are charged to the member’s account.)

Boat Rental

TAYC encourages racing families to purchase their own boats for the sailors' use. However, the club has a limited number of Optimists & C420s available to rent. Rentals are on a first come, first served basis upon the club's receipt of a completed rental agreement. For C420 Rentals, pricing is per sailor.

Rental Fees:

  • Opti -  $200 per week
  • C420 -  $200 per week, per sailor

Please contact us if you are interested in purchasing a boat and we will attempt to help you find the right boat!
