Expanding youth sailing beyond its traditional summertime boundaries, Courageous has a growing range of spring and fall offerings. We have spring and fall programs specifically tailored to the needs of local public schools, advanced after-school programs for our summer sailors who want a little extra practice, and programs for groups of first-time sailors who want a taste of what it feels like out on the water.

WorkSail:
This innovative program, for Charlestown High students only, combines intensive sailing, environmental awareness, and job skills. Participants work in the boathouse, help with boat maintenance, work on an ecology-based project, and learn to sail. Students who complete work, attendance, and professional requirements receive a stipend and certificate of recognition at the end of the program.
If you are a Charlestown High student and would like to take part in WorkSail contact Kate Henderson, as soon as possible, at 617-242-3821 or Adele McKeon, Charlestwon High PIC counselor.
Open registration will occur during lunch periods at Charlestown High School on September 18th.
After-School Sailing:
This program in Jamaica Plain is open to students who have sailed with us during the summer in Step 3 or above. This is an open time for students to practice the new skills learned over the course of the summer. Some sessions may have a specific focus, such as racing or cruising. After-School sailing is at Jamaica Plain locations.
School Programs:
Courageous Sailing partners with public schools throughout the city to offer specially tailored programs that will enhance your students’ experiences. These programs are offered at Jamaica Plain only and schools must be Boston Public Schools. Past school partners include The Young Achievers Pilot School for Math and Science, Codman Academy, and the JP Manning School. To find out if your school can participate, call Kate Henderson at 617-242-3821 ext. 12.
High School Sailing:
Several competitive high school sailing teams train at Courageous’ sites in Charlestown or Jamaica Pond. Whether a school is putting together a team for the very first time or has an already established team that needs a new place to sail, Courageous has been able to come through for local schools.
Current high schools that sail at Courageous include BB&N, Boston Latin, and Codman Academy. To find out if your high school can participate, call Kate Henderson at 617-242-3821 ext. 12
