Competitive Sailing
The 2011 racing program provides local club races, regional regattas and US Sailing Junior Olympics. Our new Sailing school/regatta format, race clinics and experienced staff will assure that each sailor is prepared for their next step of competitive sailing.
The experience starts in Muskegon where our staff will get you on the course and around the buoys - Where you go from there becomes an individual passion.
