The purpose of this club is to teach the fundamentals of sailing to enthusiastic persons with no previous sailing experience.  All participants are required to actively participate in sailing a boat which includes handling lines, raising and lowering sails, trimming sails, and steering the boat.  It is our objective to provide each participant with a positive hands-on sailing experience and your participation in the actual operation of the boat is essential.  Upon successful completion of the initial club season, most students will be capable of sailing a boat in light to moderate wind conditions or crewing for others in most wind conditions.

The Orangewood Sailing Club conducted a test run of a fall sailing season and it was the best season yet!!! We had over 33 students participate in our first ever fall sailing experiment. We have collected a total of 9 Sunfish sail boats, a canoe and an assortment of kayaks so that everyone can be on the water (or in the water!) at one time. 

Sailing Club is now in full swing for its 6 week session for the spring. Over 30 students are participating with many first time sailors.  What a beautiful site it is when all the boats are at full sail. Week one in the water was a great success. New boats and new sailors mixed well with returning club members showing them the ropes.  Plenty of wind and everyone got wet.
