NCS Program Details

In 2025, we are piloting the Jetties Sailing Club! This one-week class, offered Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, is intended for sailors 11-18 y/o of intermediate abilities who may not be interested in racing but still endure a love of being on the water. The Jetties Sailing Club exposes sailors to a variety of boat types and instills skills in seamanship to prepare sailors for a lifetime of sailing. Skills learned in the class include basic sailing skills, chart reading, knot-tying, and basic navigation. Sailors may be exposed to the following boats within the week: Rhodes 19, Marshall Cat 15, J70 and Club 420. Multi-week sailors may work to earn their open sailing pass to independently rent a boat at Jetties Sailing Center.

Explore Nantucket Harbor with Jetties Sailing Club! Jetties Sailing Club is offered as a one-week class Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 1:30-4:00PM at Jetties Sailing Center.

While life jackets are provided and required when on the water, each NCS student should be comfortable in and around the water and have basic swimming skills. We mandate that students wear appropriate shoes (closed-toe) when participating. Examples of closed-toe shoes are Native Footwear, Crocs, Keen and old sneakers.
