Pontiac Yacht Club Adult Sailing Instruction Program

Main Menu

Written by Tad DeVilbiss

Learn to sail on 19 ft. Lightning boats with experienced instructors on the waters of Cass Lake. Tuesday evenings June 15 through August 3, 6-9 PM

Each evening there will be a ground school with topics planned to move progressively from assuming absolutely nothing about students to a point where students feel confident sailing small boats.

The Pontiac Yacht Club is convenient to the western suburbs of Metro Detroit and provides an attractive and safe environment for learning to sail. If you are coming from work, you may change clothes in our locker rooms and put your sandwich in our fridge or eat during the ground school.

Each student must bring and wear a coast guard approved personal flotation device (life jacket) and sign the Liability Waiver below. For comfort, bring foul weather gear. We do not sail in storms but can occasionally find ourselves out in the rain.

P.Y.C. is located on Orchard Lake Road at the intersection of Ward’s Point Drive. Heading north on Orchard Lake Road, Ward’s Point is about 1/2 mile north of Commerce Road and the tri-city fire department. Heading west (south) on Orchard Lake Road, Ward’s Point is about ¼ mile west of Cass Lake Road.
