​Registration Open for Maritime Museum’s Spring Youth Sailing School

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KINGSTON, N.Y. – The Sailing School at the Hudson River Maritime Museum is pleased to announce that 2021 youth sailing programs are now open for registration. The first session is free, virtual, and open to all young people interested in learning more about what the sailing school offers this season. A new feature this year is a course for intermediate youth sailors. Program details can be found online at www.hrmm.org/youth-sailing-program. 

Youth Sailors' Zoom Get-Together – A social hour on Zoom. Meet youth sailors, reconnect with friends, and find out what's new for youth sailing in 2021! Moderated by Jody Sterling, Sailing Program Director, this session welcomes new and returning youth sailors to the 2021 season. All are welcome to this free session. April 19, 4:30pm-5:30pm.

Youth sailors will also find a variety of on-the-water classes beginning in May. COVID-safer practices will continue until New York State and local authorities change their directives. Safety practices include small class sizes, outdoor-only activities, and the wearing of masks. On-the-water classes include the following:
