  • CSC JOB APPLICATION


  • Last summer we had an overwhelming number of students who registered for the race team, and we did our best to support the large number of racers. Although, we wish we had the staff and boats to support a race team this large, it is just not sustainable for a club of our size. Registration for sailing classes and race team opens on April 1st at 7:00pm. If you are interested in joining the CSC race team, please register online. In June, we will be having tryouts based not only on skill and ability, but anticipated attendance and a love of racing, as the team will be capped at 12 participants. Refunds will be given for those who will not be on the team. We hope this will allow for better instruction and much more time on the water. Thank you for your understanding. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

FREE SAILING - HELMSMAN TEST
Our fleet of sailboats are available to use during free sail.  We require that those who skipper pass a Helmsman Test
In order to take out a sailboat after lessons one must demonstrate competency. A written test as well as a demonstration of rigging, docking and sailing upwind must be validated at the club by an instructor. 
A pfd must be worn at all times. Check in with the instructor on duty who will help set you up as needed.  


Clubhouse Rental
Founders' Hall is available for rent during the months of March, April, May, September, October, November and December.   The executive committee has decided that the clubhouse will no longer be available for rent in January and February.  In addition, the clubhouse is not rented during sailing season, June, July and August. Our event manager is available to answer any questions.    



NEW TO THE CLUB
Hi!  We want you to know a few things so you can determine if becoming members of the Cohasset Sailing Club is right for your family. First, you must be a resident of Cohasset to join the club. We've offered sailing lessons to Cohasset youth and adults for over 60 years.
All children must have completed 4th grade (rising 5th graders) to begin their participation in the sailing program.  This is a 6 year Junior Program (Sailor, Mate, Skipper, Captain, 2 year Race Team). 
Our Adult Sailing Program is open to adult (18 and older) Cohasset residents.  We will offer an 8 week session for 10 registrants on consecutive Saturday mornings during the sailing season.  If registration is full, please add your name to the wait list option in your account under adult sailing.
