Purchasing a new fleet of Bugs for summer 2009 gave us the opportunity to create new sails with custom graphics. Take a look at what we came up with:

You can still sign-up for classes 24/7 by clicking on our “Click here to sign-up online” link under our Instruction page.

Classes are beginning to reach capacity as we get closer to the summer. Typically, the first classes to fill are in sessions 1 and 2. As always, feel free to call our office at (203) 226-4646 with any questions.

We’ve worked long and hard to create an easy-to-use resource for everything Longshore Sailing School.  Every page from our old site has been re-engineered to give this new site a completely new look and feel.

You can now find all of our Junior and Adult program course descriptions and schedules, as well as our online registration link, under the Instruction tab.  Make sure to click on the collages next to the course description to see a slideshow of our favorite photos of that course.

Photos and descriptions of our fleet of over 100 sailboats and kayaks can be seen under the Boat Rentals tab, where you will also find rental rates.

New to this site is the Longshore Sailing School blog.  Updated regularly with the latest photos from the beach, important information for parents and students, and details on events we’re sponsoring over the summer, you’ll find the blog a great way to stay in touch.
