Summer 2020 for the school posed many challenges with the Covid -19 pandemic. These challenges were met by the dedicated sailing instructors that helped carry out measures to ensure student safety. We were fortunate the sailing school was able to operate due to the inherent distancing of the sport. Students and parents alike were incredible following protocol. There was an above average student turnout considering the circumstances, which added to our 2020 success. Our imperfect weather posed issues since social distancing meant the indoor classroom wasn’t being used. All involved were extremely flexible when moving class start times or when postponement was necessary. Beyond the obstacles, instructors were forced to think creatively about games and class activities, which has inspired new ideas for next summer.
A successful season wouldn’t have been possible without our team of sailing instructors!
