Conveniently located at Waukegan Harbor at the Waukegan Yacht Club
We hold our classes at Waukegan Yacht Club, but you do not need to be a Yacht Club member to participate. Waukegan Harbor is an easy drive from the north, west and south. A number of our students take the Metra train up from the North Shore every morning. We can make arrangements to have a sail instructor meet your children at the station and walk the two short blocks to the Yacht Club.
Please share program information with friends and family. Help us grow the Junior Sail program!
