  Special On-The-Water Clinics  
 

There are many topics taught during our 2 hour Sailing Outing classes taught on Lake Lanier. Our Clinics provide more extensive and focused training and practice that may not be possible during a general Sailing Outing class.  These Clinics are generally offered only during the summer months (May/June/July/Aug/Sept) but are available by request for Private Instruction as well at other times during the year.
 
See our calendar of classes for exact dates and times.
