Welcome to Sea-Legs - our watery classroom driven by the wind. Serving Eastern Connecticut, we invite Cadets aged 9-17 and their Mentors aboard our boats to learn the joys of sailing.

Sea-Legs promises adventure and teaches you key life skills. On-the-water and on-shore maritime activities provide real-life situations that help Sea-Legs Cadets learn the importance of teamwork, gain self-esteem, and grow more independent.

Once you are enrolled, you and your mentor work together, earning sea-time hours while meeting each new challenge afloat. Learn to hoist a sail, read navigational charts, and sail your course with the wind...

As you progress through a step-by-step program, you will make longer voyages and share greater responsibility. In the process you will take on a maritime identity and gain the seafaring competence to reach the rank of Navigator.

These authentic and unforgettable adventures will enrich your life and open doors to educational, vocational and recreational choices that could guide your course for a lifetime. Come Aboard!
