Adults and children who would like to learn sailing and windsurfing can do so at the Yale Corinthian Yacht Club -- YCYC-- located at Short Beach in Branford. The club offers adult memberships for recreational and competitive sailing during the summer and school year. In the summer, sailing and windsurfing lessons are taught to adults and children.
All members of the yacht club are welcome to compete in regattas and weekly racing, as well as cookouts and other social activities conducted by the Yale Faculty Yacht Club.
YCYC offers four levels of lessons for children ages 10-18, taught in four-week sessions.
