The Beacon Sloop Club will offer classroom sail lessons beginning April 15 and continuing on consecutive Wednesdays through June 3, from 7:00-9:00 PM, at the club building in Beacon.
Learn the basics of sailing in a classroom and prepare to be a member of the crew on the “Woody Guthrie,” the club’s historic wooden replica of a gaff-rigged Hudson River Sloop, when she is relaunched. The course fee, including a sailing book, is $50.
The Beacon Sloop Club house is a wood-shingled building at the river’s edge, across from the Beacon train station.
