Fall Sail Training (Saturday, September 19, 2026)

Sat, 19 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Learn to Sail with the Nevada Yacht Club!

Have you have ever wanted to learn more about sailing and sailboats? Then this is the place to start! Our two-day course is for the absolute beginner and for the sailor who just needs a refresher course.

Instruction takes place both in the classroom and on the water utilizing club members' mono hull sailboats. You will learn boat safety, points of sail, parts of the boat, sail trim, steering, weather/wind, and so much more.

The course is held at The Lake Mead Marina inside the Boathouse Restaurant. Included in your registration fee is the "Basic Keelboat" textbook, a Nevada Yacht Club Sail Training T-Shirt, a light breakfast and buffet lunch each day!

Must be 13 years of age to participate. Participants under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Classroom training will be held rain or shine (wind or no wind). The Nevada Yacht Club Fleet Captain may cancel on-the-water activities if hazardous weather conditions exist. If both days of on-water activities are cancelled due to hazardous weather, the Nevada Yacht Club will attempt to schedule a single make-up day, but a make-up day is not guaranteed. Cancelations will incur a $10 fee per canceled registrant. Cancelations must be received 10 days prior to the event to be eligible for a refund.

Want to participate but don't have a sailboat? The Nevada Yacht Club will attempt to match "non-crew members" with Skippers who can accommodate extra crew. Non-crew members will be placed on a waitlist. Preference will be given to new NYC members. Confirmation of your spot on a boat will be emailed to you a few days prior to the event. The Nevada Yacht Club will attempt to accommodate all participation requests, however, the number of available non-crew member spots is based on the number of spots offered by participating skippers.

B.Y.O.B.

This is a "bring-your-own-beverage" event. If you choose to drink an alcoholic beverage, please do so responsibly. Each Skipper has the final say in what happens on their vessel. Please be respectful.

Skippers

Skippers, please see to separate skippers' registration on the Skipper Content page. If you do not have access to the Skipper Content page, please email info@nevadayachtclub.org.
