Enrichment Programs The Sailing Center’s Enrichment Program is comprised of three programs: Open Fridays‚ Spinnaker Club and Sunday Racing. These weekend programs are designed to make it easy for you to get on the water and practice sailing maneuvers‚ be evaluated for a light or medium air rating‚ go racing or simply get experience aboard an Ensign or another boat you have not yet tried.

MCSC staff will assist matching qualified skippers with crew to ensure that everyone goes sailing with an experienced skipper aboard. You can sail Ensigns‚ Solings‚ J24s‚ 470s and even get aboard Misty‚ the Sailing Center’s C & C 27.
