About Skaneateles Country Club
Sail School
The Skaneateles Country Club Sailing Committee offers a full sailing program to the SCC community and the public at large. We offer classes geared for youths 7 years to 18 years as well as adult classes. The staff is made up of U.S. Sail Certified Instructors. All staff are CPR and First Aide certified and ready to meet the needs of both adults and youths.
Some of our activities include:
Apple race: Kids sailed the boats and tried to retrieve as many apples as they could that had been tossed in the lake by the instructors. They were even allowed to swim their boats to the apples but a person in the boat had to pick the apple out of the water.
Interclub Race: Sailors from Fair Haven Yacht Club, Rochester Yacht Club, Willowbank Yacht Club, and Youngstown Yacht Club came to Skaneateles to compete in Lasers, 420's and DC's.
