Interested in finding out what soling racing is all about?
A way to learn the basics of racing. Our Intro to Racing Clinic is held on 3 consecutive Mondays from 5 pm to 8:30 pm. Each session will start with a discussion of the racing rules, examples of how race courses are set up, basic strategy and tactics, and common issues beginners encounter.
On the water, we will run short races with 2 to 3 students on each boat. To better focus on boat handling and tactics, we will not be using spinnakers. The instructors will be coaching from powerboats.

CancelLation POlicy
Boston Sailing Center has cancellation and rescheduling policies in place to properly staff and plan for your course. We ask that you give us enough notice (as listed below) to cancel or reschedule your course. When a course fills, we often must turn away new students, and cannot make up for lost revenue due to last minute cancellations. We do understand that things do come up and we will make every effort to accommodate you within our listed policies.
CANCELLING WITH GREATER THAN 14 DAYS’ NOTICE
If you cancel with greater than 7 days’ notice from the first day of your course, you will receive a refund. If you paid with a credit card, BSC will retain a 3% fee of the total amount paid. Cash and check payments will be refunded in full.
CANCELLING WITH 0-14 DAYS’ NOTICE
If you cancel with 0-14 days’ notice, no refund will be given, but you do have options for rescheduling below.
RESCHEDULING WITH GREATER THAN 14 DAYS’ NOTICE
If you reschedule with greater than 14 days’ notice from the first day of your course, you may reschedule into any open course with no additional fees or waiting periods.
RESCHEDULING WITH 0-14 DAYS’ NOTICE
If you need to reschedule within 0-13 days before the first day of class, we can reschedule you on a space available basis. This means that if there is an extra space in a course, you may take it at no additional cost. You will go onto a waitlist for the course you would like to schedule into, and BSC will contact you if the space is still available.
