Sail School
Sail School began in 1970, when member Dick Brust organized the EYC Sail School to teach the children of EYC members how to sail. Years later member Nan Culver added a ladies’ sailing school to provide an activity for the mothers who accompanied their children to sail school. Several years ago EYC members elected to invite a small number of non-members to attend Sail School.Today EYC hosts a weeklong residence camp for sailing students from ages 10-90 during the third week of June. More than 100 students attend and more than 40 teens and adults volunteer as instructors, cooks, organizers of evening entertainment and rescue boat operators.
