Summer Sailing Instructor Racing Series with Housing

Don’t just get housing, join a community of fellow sailing instructors! At SUNY Maritime College you can enjoy all our waterfront campus has to offer, including weekly racing on the College’s 420s, FJs or IC24 keelboats with fellow sailing instructors.

We want Long Island Sound and New York Harbor to be the place to learn, to teach, and to enjoy sailing. J-1 visa students and other sailor instructors from out of the area are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity.
