Registration for the New Hampshire Boat Museum’s summer sailing program offered in cooperation with the Wolfeboro Parks and Recreation Department, is now open. The program offers instructional sailing programs for all ages and skill levels at two locations on New Hampshire’s lakes.
“For more than twenty years, our sailing programs have continued to grow,” said Anne Lennon, NHBM Programs Director. “It’s a rewarding way for both kids and adults to get on the water, build new skills, and potentially discover a lifelong passion.”
At Albee Beach on Lake Wentworth in Wolfeboro, youth classes start in Optimist dinghies while adults learn in Sunfish sailboats, with advanced instruction available for youth interested in racing. At 19 Mile Bay on Lake Winnipesaukee in Tuftonboro, keelboat classes for ages 16 and over offer both scheduled and private instruction from US Sailing-certified instructors.
“Our sailing programs reflect NHBM’s ongoing commitment to providing hands-on boating experiences while fostering a lasting appreciation and stewardship for New Hampshire’s lakes,” added Lennon.
Founded in 1992, the New Hampshire Boat Museum is dedicated to preserving and sharing the state’s rich freshwater boating heritage. Through dynamic exhibits, programs like Boat Building, On Water Instruction and more, NHBM brings New Hampshire’s boating story to life.
