The Chautauqua
Sailing Department, under the leadership of director Gary Snyder,
presents a comprehensive curriculum of one-week sailing courses.
The courses have been carefully designed to advance the sailing
skills of all -- youth to adult and novice to advanced sailors.
The John R. Turney
Sailing Center provides a home base for the programs and services
of Chautauqua's Sailing Department. The Center includes a classroom
and administration building, docks and a storage facility.
Complete course
descriptions, fees and weekly schedules are published in the
2007
Special Studies catalog. Call the Sailing Department during the summer
season (716-357-6392) or stop by the John R. Turney Sailing Center
with your questions regarding course content, class suitability,
or private lessons.
In addition to
our structured courses, the Sailing Department provides sailing
experiences to Boys'
& Girls' Club participants, offers guided sailing excursions
for families and small groups, and provides staff for individualized
private lessons. A variety of sailboats are also available
for rent.
We are equipped
to provide courses and lessons using a variety of sailboats including
the Optimist Dinghy, Vanguard 420, Sunfish, Laser, Lightning,
Flying Scot, and Precision 185. Our staff is drawn from experienced
high school and collegiate sailors as well as from seasoned professionals,
the majority of whom are experienced competitive racers and US
Sailing Certified Instructors. Picturesque Chautauqua Institution
and the splendid waters of Chautauqua Lake assure a memorable
setting for your sailing experience with us.
