Sail School began in 1970, when member Dick Brust organized the EYC Sail School to teach the children of EYC members how to sail. Years later member Nan Culver added a ladies' sailing school to provide an activity for the mothers who accompanied their children to sail school. Several years ago EYC members elected to invite a small number of non-members to attend Sail School.
Today EYC hosts a weeklong residence camp for sailing students from ages 10-90 during the third week of June. More than 100 students attend and more than 40 teens and adults volunteer as instructors, cooks, organizers of evening entertainment and rescue boat operators.
