Community Sailing Center is Looking for Instructors

The Community Sailing Center (CSC) is reaching out to our local sailing clubs to solicit adult members who may be interested in becoming full or part-time Sailing Instructors at the CSC. The CSC offers a variety of programs for youth, adult, students, and the visiting sailing and paddling enthusiast. CSC’s diverse programs range from recreational to racing, accommodating every sailor. Our fleet is composed of Open Bics, Hartley 10s, Escapes, 420’s, Lasers, Sonars, Rhodes 19s, and Stand Up Paddleboards. Our staff is made up of sailors, paddlers and recreation enthusiasts who share a deep passion for Lake Champlain.

As the CSC continues to grow and expand, we seek experienced adult sailors who share our passion for Lake Champlain and helping all members of our community to play on, learn from and ultimately take care of Vermont’s greatest natural resource, Lake Champlain. The future of our sport depends on us sharing our enthusiasm with newcomers to the sport. Please consider this opportunity to expose more residents to the wonderful resource we have in our backyard. The job description for a sailing instructor can be found on the CSC’s website. Feel free to contact Jen Guimaraes directly if you are interested in learning more (jen@communitysailingcenter.org) or call her at 802-864-2499

Cruising

Lake Champlain offers some of the best freshwater cruising in North America. The beautiful scenery and charming lakeside destinations make it a great place to explore. LCYC organizes several rendezvous events. Spontaneous cruising events also materialize throughout the season. We have a number of scheduled events planned for the summer season. Cruisers are out and about just about every weekday and weekend throughout the summer.

Full and half-day sessions are offered for all ability levels over an eight week period each summer. All of our Instructors are US Sailing certified and have extensive experience.
