9:00 AM - 12:00 PM    Adult Sailing Lessons - Adult Learn to Sail Lessons 2026
Adult Sailing Program The Cohasset Sailing Club (CSC) offers an adult sailing program exclusively for Cohasset residents aged 18 and older. We provide two levels of instruction: Learn to Sail and Adult Refresher classes. Learn to Sail Our beginner-friendly Learn to Sail program is designed for individuals new to the sport or those returning after a long break. Experienced instructors will guide you through the basics of sailing with hands-on experience in our 14' Quests. These boats, also used in our youth programs, are wide and forgiving, providing an ideal learning platform. The program consists of eight sessions, conveniently scheduled on Saturdays: Morning Sessions (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The first four lessons are scheduled in the morning to take advantage of calmer winds, facilitating an easier learning environment for beginners. Afternoon Sessions (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): The following four sessions occur in the afternoon to expose participants to moderately stronger winds, preparing you for a variety of sailing conditions. By the program's conclusion, you will be equipped to confidently navigate Cohasset's inner and outer harbors, either solo or with friends and family. Adult Refresher Course The Cohasset Sailing Club offers an Adult Refresher Course designed for individuals who have completed a Learn to Sail program or possess prior sailing experience but haven't been on the water recently. This course is an excellent way to refresh your knowledge of sailing fundamentals and update your practical skills in a supportive environment. What to ExpectOur experienced instructors provide personalized guidance tailored to your ability. They will assist you with rigging a Quest - the same sailboats used in our youth program - and offer support as needed, whether by sailing alongside you, trailing in a safety whaler, or supervising from shore. The primary goal is to help you build the confidence required to pass the  Helmsman Test.     Passing this test grants you access to use the Club’s Quests independently with friends and family, and feel confident crewing on larger day sailers. Registration and Schedule Registration is flexible; you may sign up for only the class dates you wish to attend. Due to small class sizes and customized instruction, each session provides a near-private lesson experience. Schedule: Sessions run from July 8th through July 26th. Wednesdays: 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm Sundays: 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm Please Note: To ensure proper staffing and highly customized classes, registration for each session closes one week before the scheduled class date. Early registration is encouraged to secure your spot. Private LessonsScheduled directly with the Program Manager during the sailing season.   $75/hour or $125/2 hoursFor more information or questions: adultsailing@cohassetsailingclub.org You must be able to swim 100 meters and tread water for 10 minutes without help.  You will be asked to confirm this in the registration process.   Every participant needs a USCG certified PDF (personal flotation device)  and closed toed shoes for each class.

5:30 PM - 7:00 PM    Adult Sailing Lessons - Adult Refresher Wednesday 2026- 1
Adult Sailing Program The Cohasset Sailing Club (CSC) offers an adult sailing program exclusively for Cohasset residents aged 18 and older. We provide two levels of instruction: Learn to Sail and Adult Refresher classes. Learn to Sail Our beginner-friendly Learn to Sail program is designed for individuals new to the sport or those returning after a long break. Experienced instructors will guide you through the basics of sailing with hands-on experience in our 14' Quests. These boats, also used in our youth programs, are wide and forgiving, providing an ideal learning platform. The program consists of eight sessions, conveniently scheduled on Saturdays: Morning Sessions (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The first four lessons are scheduled in the morning to take advantage of calmer winds, facilitating an easier learning environment for beginners. Afternoon Sessions (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): The following four sessions occur in the afternoon to expose participants to moderately stronger winds, preparing you for a variety of sailing conditions. By the program's conclusion, you will be equipped to confidently navigate Cohasset's inner and outer harbors, either solo or with friends and family. Adult Refresher Course The Cohasset Sailing Club offers an Adult Refresher Course designed for individuals who have completed a Learn to Sail program or possess prior sailing experience but haven't been on the water recently. This course is an excellent way to refresh your knowledge of sailing fundamentals and update your practical skills in a supportive environment. What to ExpectOur experienced instructors provide personalized guidance tailored to your ability. They will assist you with rigging a Quest - the same sailboats used in our youth program - and offer support as needed, whether by sailing alongside you, trailing in a safety whaler, or supervising from shore. The primary goal is to help you build the confidence required to pass the  Helmsman Test.     Passing this test grants you access to use the Club’s Quests independently with friends and family, and feel confident crewing on larger day sailers. Registration and Schedule Registration is flexible; you may sign up for only the class dates you wish to attend. Due to small class sizes and customized instruction, each session provides a near-private lesson experience. Schedule: Sessions run from July 8th through July 26th. Wednesdays: 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm Sundays: 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm Please Note: To ensure proper staffing and highly customized classes, registration for each session closes one week before the scheduled class date. Early registration is encouraged to secure your spot. Private LessonsScheduled directly with the Program Manager during the sailing season.   $75/hour or $125/2 hoursFor more information or questions: adultsailing@cohassetsailingclub.org You must be able to swim 100 meters and tread water for 10 minutes without help.  You will be asked to confirm this in the registration process.   Every participant needs a USCG certified PDF (personal flotation device)  and closed toed shoes for each class.

9:00 AM - 12:00 PM    Adult Sailing Lessons - Adult Learn to Sail Lessons 2026
Adult Sailing Program The Cohasset Sailing Club (CSC) offers an adult sailing program exclusively for Cohasset residents aged 18 and older. We provide two levels of instruction: Learn to Sail and Adult Refresher classes. Learn to Sail Our beginner-friendly Learn to Sail program is designed for individuals new to the sport or those returning after a long break. Experienced instructors will guide you through the basics of sailing with hands-on experience in our 14' Quests. These boats, also used in our youth programs, are wide and forgiving, providing an ideal learning platform. The program consists of eight sessions, conveniently scheduled on Saturdays: Morning Sessions (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The first four lessons are scheduled in the morning to take advantage of calmer winds, facilitating an easier learning environment for beginners. Afternoon Sessions (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): The following four sessions occur in the afternoon to expose participants to moderately stronger winds, preparing you for a variety of sailing conditions. By the program's conclusion, you will be equipped to confidently navigate Cohasset's inner and outer harbors, either solo or with friends and family. Adult Refresher Course The Cohasset Sailing Club offers an Adult Refresher Course designed for individuals who have completed a Learn to Sail program or possess prior sailing experience but haven't been on the water recently. This course is an excellent way to refresh your knowledge of sailing fundamentals and update your practical skills in a supportive environment. What to ExpectOur experienced instructors provide personalized guidance tailored to your ability. They will assist you with rigging a Quest - the same sailboats used in our youth program - and offer support as needed, whether by sailing alongside you, trailing in a safety whaler, or supervising from shore. The primary goal is to help you build the confidence required to pass the  Helmsman Test.     Passing this test grants you access to use the Club’s Quests independently with friends and family, and feel confident crewing on larger day sailers. Registration and Schedule Registration is flexible; you may sign up for only the class dates you wish to attend. Due to small class sizes and customized instruction, each session provides a near-private lesson experience. Schedule: Sessions run from July 8th through July 26th. Wednesdays: 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm Sundays: 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm Please Note: To ensure proper staffing and highly customized classes, registration for each session closes one week before the scheduled class date. Early registration is encouraged to secure your spot.

5:30 PM - 7:00 PM    Adult Sailing Lessons - Adult Refresher Wednesday 2026 - 2
Adult Sailing Program The Cohasset Sailing Club (CSC) offers an adult sailing program exclusively for Cohasset residents aged 18 and older. We provide two levels of instruction: Learn to Sail and Adult Refresher classes. Learn to Sail Our beginner-friendly Learn to Sail program is designed for individuals new to the sport or those returning after a long break. Experienced instructors will guide you through the basics of sailing with hands-on experience in our 14' Quests. These boats, also used in our youth programs, are wide and forgiving, providing an ideal learning platform. The program consists of eight sessions, conveniently scheduled on Saturdays: Morning Sessions (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The first four lessons are scheduled in the morning to take advantage of calmer winds, facilitating an easier learning environment for beginners. Afternoon Sessions (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): The following four sessions occur in the afternoon to expose participants to moderately stronger winds, preparing you for a variety of sailing conditions. By the program's conclusion, you will be equipped to confidently navigate Cohasset's inner and outer harbors, either solo or with friends and family. Adult Refresher Course The Cohasset Sailing Club offers an Adult Refresher Course designed for individuals who have completed a Learn to Sail program or possess prior sailing experience but haven't been on the water recently. This course is an excellent way to refresh your knowledge of sailing fundamentals and update your practical skills in a supportive environment. What to ExpectOur experienced instructors provide personalized guidance tailored to your ability. They will assist you with rigging a Quest - the same sailboats used in our youth program - and offer support as needed, whether by sailing alongside you, trailing in a safety whaler, or supervising from shore. The primary goal is to help you build the confidence required to pass the  Helmsman Test.     Passing this test grants you access to use the Club’s Quests independently with friends and family, and feel confident crewing on larger day sailers. Registration and Schedule Registration is flexible; you may sign up for only the class dates you wish to attend. Due to small class sizes and customized instruction, each session provides a near-private lesson experience. Schedule: Sessions run from July 8th through July 26th. Wednesdays: 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm Sundays: 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm Please Note: To ensure proper staffing and highly customized classes, registration for each session closes one week before the scheduled class date. Early registration is encouraged to secure your spot. Private LessonsScheduled directly with the Program Manager during the sailing season.   $75/hour or $125/2 hoursFor more information or questions: adultsailing@cohassetsailingclub.org You must be able to swim 100 meters and tread water for 10 minutes without help.  You will be asked to confirm this in the registration process.   Every participant needs a USCG certified PDF (personal flotation device)  and closed toed shoes for each class.

9:00 AM - 12:00 PM    Adult Sailing Lessons - Adult Learn to Sail Lessons 2026
Adult Sailing Program The Cohasset Sailing Club (CSC) offers an adult sailing program exclusively for Cohasset residents aged 18 and older. We provide two levels of instruction: Learn to Sail and Adult Refresher classes. Learn to Sail Our beginner-friendly Learn to Sail program is designed for individuals new to the sport or those returning after a long break. Experienced instructors will guide you through the basics of sailing with hands-on experience in our 14' Quests. These boats, also used in our youth programs, are wide and forgiving, providing an ideal learning platform. The program consists of eight sessions, conveniently scheduled on Saturdays: Morning Sessions (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The first four lessons are scheduled in the morning to take advantage of calmer winds, facilitating an easier learning environment for beginners. Afternoon Sessions (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): The following four sessions occur in the afternoon to expose participants to moderately stronger winds, preparing you for a variety of sailing conditions. By the program's conclusion, you will be equipped to confidently navigate Cohasset's inner and outer harbors, either solo or with friends and family. Adult Refresher Course The Cohasset Sailing Club offers an Adult Refresher Course designed for individuals who have completed a Learn to Sail program or possess prior sailing experience but haven't been on the water recently. This course is an excellent way to refresh your knowledge of sailing fundamentals and update your practical skills in a supportive environment. What to ExpectOur experienced instructors provide personalized guidance tailored to your ability. They will assist you with rigging a Quest - the same sailboats used in our youth program - and offer support as needed, whether by sailing alongside you, trailing in a safety whaler, or supervising from shore. The primary goal is to help you build the confidence required to pass the  Helmsman Test.     Passing this test grants you access to use the Club’s Quests independently with friends and family, and feel confident crewing on larger day sailers. Registration and Schedule Registration is flexible; you may sign up for only the class dates you wish to attend. Due to small class sizes and customized instruction, each session provides a near-private lesson experience. Schedule: Sessions run from July 8th through July 26th. Wednesdays: 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm Sundays: 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm Please Note: To ensure proper staffing and highly customized classes, registration for each session closes one week before the scheduled class date. Early registration is encouraged to secure your spot.

5:30 PM - 7:00 PM    Adult Sailing Lessons - Adult Refresher Wednesday 2026 - 3
Adult Sailing Program The Cohasset Sailing Club (CSC) offers an adult sailing program exclusively for Cohasset residents aged 18 and older. We provide two levels of instruction: Learn to Sail and Adult Refresher classes. Learn to Sail Our beginner-friendly Learn to Sail program is designed for individuals new to the sport or those returning after a long break. Experienced instructors will guide you through the basics of sailing with hands-on experience in our 14' Quests. These boats, also used in our youth programs, are wide and forgiving, providing an ideal learning platform. The program consists of eight sessions, conveniently scheduled on Saturdays: Morning Sessions (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The first four lessons are scheduled in the morning to take advantage of calmer winds, facilitating an easier learning environment for beginners. Afternoon Sessions (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): The following four sessions occur in the afternoon to expose participants to moderately stronger winds, preparing you for a variety of sailing conditions. By the program's conclusion, you will be equipped to confidently navigate Cohasset's inner and outer harbors, either solo or with friends and family. Adult Refresher Course The Cohasset Sailing Club offers an Adult Refresher Course designed for individuals who have completed a Learn to Sail program or possess prior sailing experience but haven't been on the water recently. This course is an excellent way to refresh your knowledge of sailing fundamentals and update your practical skills in a supportive environment. What to ExpectOur experienced instructors provide personalized guidance tailored to your ability. They will assist you with rigging a Quest - the same sailboats used in our youth program - and offer support as needed, whether by sailing alongside you, trailing in a safety whaler, or supervising from shore. The primary goal is to help you build the confidence required to pass the  Helmsman Test.     Passing this test grants you access to use the Club’s Quests independently with friends and family, and feel confident crewing on larger day sailers. Registration and Schedule Registration is flexible; you may sign up for only the class dates you wish to attend. Due to small class sizes and customized instruction, each session provides a near-private lesson experience. Schedule: Sessions run from July 8th through July 26th. Wednesdays: 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm Sundays: 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm Please Note: To ensure proper staffing and highly customized classes, registration for each session closes one week before the scheduled class date. Early registration is encouraged to secure your spot. Private LessonsScheduled directly with the Program Manager during the sailing season.   $75/hour or $125/2 hoursFor more information or questions: adultsailing@cohassetsailingclub.org You must be able to swim 100 meters and tread water for 10 minutes without help.  You will be asked to confirm this in the registration process.   Every participant needs a USCG certified PDF (personal flotation device)  and closed toed shoes for each class.

9:00 AM - 12:00 PM    Adult Sailing Lessons - Adult Learn to Sail Lessons 2026
Adult Sailing Program The Cohasset Sailing Club (CSC) offers an adult sailing program exclusively for Cohasset residents aged 18 and older. We provide two levels of instruction: Learn to Sail and Adult Refresher classes. Learn to Sail Our beginner-friendly Learn to Sail program is designed for individuals new to the sport or those returning after a long break. Experienced instructors will guide you through the basics of sailing with hands-on experience in our 14' Quests. These boats, also used in our youth programs, are wide and forgiving, providing an ideal learning platform. The program consists of eight sessions, conveniently scheduled on Saturdays: Morning Sessions (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The first four lessons are scheduled in the morning to take advantage of calmer winds, facilitating an easier learning environment for beginners. Afternoon Sessions (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): The following four sessions occur in the afternoon to expose participants to moderately stronger winds, preparing you for a variety of sailing conditions. By the program's conclusion, you will be equipped to confidently navigate Cohasset's inner and outer harbors, either solo or with friends and family. Adult Refresher Course The Cohasset Sailing Club offers an Adult Refresher Course designed for individuals who have completed a Learn to Sail program or possess prior sailing experience but haven't been on the water recently. This course is an excellent way to refresh your knowledge of sailing fundamentals and update your practical skills in a supportive environment. What to ExpectOur experienced instructors provide personalized guidance tailored to your ability. They will assist you with rigging a Quest - the same sailboats used in our youth program - and offer support as needed, whether by sailing alongside you, trailing in a safety whaler, or supervising from shore. The primary goal is to help you build the confidence required to pass the  Helmsman Test.     Passing this test grants you access to use the Club’s Quests independently with friends and family, and feel confident crewing on larger day sailers. Registration and Schedule Registration is flexible; you may sign up for only the class dates you wish to attend. Due to small class sizes and customized instruction, each session provides a near-private lesson experience. Schedule: Sessions run from July 8th through July 26th. Wednesdays: 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm Sundays: 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm Please Note: To ensure proper staffing and highly customized classes, registration for each session closes one week before the scheduled class date. Early registration is encouraged to secure your spot. Private LessonsScheduled directly with the Program Manager during the sailing season.   $75/hour or $125/2 hoursFor more information or questions: adultsailing@cohassetsailingclub.org You must be able to swim 100 meters and tread water for 10 minutes without help.  You will be asked to confirm this in the registration process.   Every participant needs a USCG certified PDF (personal flotation device)  and closed toed shoes for each class.

1:30 PM - 3:00 PM    Adult Sailing Lessons - Adult Refresher Sunday 2026 - 3
Adult Sailing Program The Cohasset Sailing Club (CSC) offers an adult sailing program exclusively for Cohasset residents aged 18 and older. We provide two levels of instruction: Learn to Sail and Adult Refresher classes. Learn to Sail Our beginner-friendly Learn to Sail program is designed for individuals new to the sport or those returning after a long break. Experienced instructors will guide you through the basics of sailing with hands-on experience in our 14' Quests. These boats, also used in our youth programs, are wide and forgiving, providing an ideal learning platform. The program consists of eight sessions, conveniently scheduled on Saturdays: Morning Sessions (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The first four lessons are scheduled in the morning to take advantage of calmer winds, facilitating an easier learning environment for beginners. Afternoon Sessions (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): The following four sessions occur in the afternoon to expose participants to moderately stronger winds, preparing you for a variety of sailing conditions. By the program's conclusion, you will be equipped to confidently navigate Cohasset's inner and outer harbors, either solo or with friends and family. Adult Refresher Course The Cohasset Sailing Club offers an Adult Refresher Course designed for individuals who have completed a Learn to Sail program or possess prior sailing experience but haven't been on the water recently. This course is an excellent way to refresh your knowledge of sailing fundamentals and update your practical skills in a supportive environment. What to ExpectOur experienced instructors provide personalized guidance tailored to your ability. They will assist you with rigging a Quest - the same sailboats used in our youth program - and offer support as needed, whether by sailing alongside you, trailing in a safety whaler, or supervising from shore. The primary goal is to help you build the confidence required to pass the  Helmsman Test.     Passing this test grants you access to use the Club’s Quests independently with friends and family, and feel confident crewing on larger day sailers. Registration and Schedule Registration is flexible; you may sign up for only the class dates you wish to attend. Due to small class sizes and customized instruction, each session provides a near-private lesson experience. Schedule: Sessions run from July 8th through July 26th. Wednesdays: 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm Sundays: 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm Please Note: To ensure proper staffing and highly customized classes, registration for each session closes one week before the scheduled class date. Early registration is encouraged to secure your spot. Private LessonsScheduled directly with the Program Manager during the sailing season.   $75/hour or $125/2 hoursFor more information or questions: adultsailing@cohassetsailingclub.org You must be able to swim 100 meters and tread water for 10 minutes without help.  You will be asked to confirm this in the registration process.   Every participant needs a USCG certified PDF (personal flotation device)  and closed toed shoes for each class.
