Come by yourself or with up to two others for a lesson. Each person can choose how much they want to participate. If some in your party want to relax and watch they can do this as others are sailing. We are on a river, so this is a great spot to learn in calm waters. We can also get out into the Saco Bay as well in a short amount of time.
Lesson Boat
The sailing vessel Golden Dragon is a 26′ Amphibi-Con racing-cruiser sailboat powered by a 15 HP outboard, used for our lessons. Unlike smaller, single-sail boats often used for instruction, this boat features two sizable sails, a keel, and a cabin, providing a comfortable learning environment for up to three students and an instructor. Despite its ample size, it remains manageable for solo sailors. Come experience the exceptional Golden Dragon and our skilled instructor for a memorable sailing lesson!
