Description

The Brendan Sail Training Program is an 8-day session offered at the Annapolis Sailing School. Highest bidder wins one summer 2012 session. Choose from the following sessions:



  • Session 1 7/2 – 7/12 (excludes 7/4)

  • Session 2 7/13 – 7/24


Many traditional junior sailing programs use competition to reinforce skills taught. Brendan understands that students with learning differences function best in a non-competitive learning environment. That’s why there are no tests, performance based initiatives or racing lessons in the Brendan program.


Brendan students attain a great sense of accomplishment by setting and achieving goals. Students learn by doing and master the mechanical skills required to rig, launch and operate a small sailboat. At the end of the program, students will formally graduate and have an opportunity to showcase their sailing skills to their family and friends.


Brendan’s number one priority is to provide students with a safe learning environment. All instructors are accomplished sailors and teachers and all are US SAILING certified and undergo rigorous background checks.
