Wishing all a healthy, stay-at-home spring, unless out in the best social distancing, family sport ever. We are OPEN for member's family charters.

We are OPEN to aid planning our re-opening (June on) enrollments and bookings

We can help plan to take the dream to sail to start becoming a reality in 2020. Or plan a $$ effective way to get back into what you loved, if paused.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift, that is why it is called the present. - Eleanor Roosevelt

Our charter options are open for members now. Sailing is the perfect social distancing sport/lifestyle with fresh air and outdoor exercise that you can share with family or those close to you. You can also purchase sailing lesson packages now, to save on classes later. Our classes are small: 4 person maximum class size, and each boat is cleaned between uses, once the school re-opens.

For your safety, Afterguard will have an easy 'no-questions-asked' reschedule policy when the school fully reopens.
