Write a commentIn an effort to introduce members of the Oswego community to the sport of sailing, the Oswego Yacht Club will host several “Try Sailing” seminars at its club location at 11 West Seneca Street (formerly the Office Tavern) in the coming weeks.
The seminars will focus on sailing basics, terminology, local sailing opportunities and sailing on a budget. Recently, long time local sailboat racer and seminar presenter Tom Doran explained, “There are wonderful sailing opportunities here in Oswego that the public may not be aware of, so we’re going to teach the basics and encourage people to give it a try.”
A social gathering at OYC will follow each seminar when attendees will be able to “network” with other local sailing enthusiasts. Additionally, attendees will be encouraged to sign up to go for a sail on a club member’s boat. These seminars are offered free of charge, but space is limited, so sign up at: trysailing@oswegoyachtclub.org.
Seminar dates:
- Saturday, March 11, 3-5pm
- Sunday, April 16, 1-3pm
- Saturday, May 13, 3-5pm
- Sunday, May 21, 1-3pm
Location: Oswego Yacht Club 11 W. Seneca St., Oswego, NY 13126
