"Jim & Steve-
Rand and I just wanted to share our enthusiasm and thanks with both
of you... Together, you have made our learning experience, by turns, enjoyable,
wondrous, exhilarating, challenging, and unbelievably fulfilling.
Thanks again for everything you have done for us. Your dedication
to sailing is both obvious and invigorating..."
-G.D. Peters and Rand Harper, New York, NY.

At
New
York Sailing Center & Yacht Club, our program is backed
up with the experience and perspective of 38 years
in the sailing school industry. But we're constantly doing what made
us an award-winning industry leader in the first place: re-thinking and
re-inventing the wheel (sorry - that's "tiller!").
It's reflected in the content and format
of the courses, particularly in our emphasis on boat handling and safety
skills. You'll also see it in our variety of unique teaching
aids, such as our Obstacle CourseSM
and Model Sloop.

Our location,
once seen, speaks for itself. We have perhaps the finest teaching
waters anywhere, with no time wasted getting to them. New York Sailing
Center is located in a residential community on City Island, where you'll
enjoy learning to sail protected from natural and man-made disturbances
such as wind shears, strong currents, and commercial shipping traffic.
Manhattanites can hardly believe they're
still in New York City. Yet, we're less than the length of Manhattan
away from it, and commuting is quick and easy - even by public transit.*
Drivers can park free on-site. There's even a wonderful French
Bed & Breakfast almost around the corner with discounts available
to our customers. You can turn your experience into a real getaway,
or simply make it a viable and attactive option to travel from upstate
or out-of-state to enjoy all the advantages we offer.

*The #2, 5 & 6 trains
and Metro North are all very convenient to us, with a quick transfer from
the station (we can pick you). Driving is easy from almost anywhere.
