To reschedule a lesson with more than 48 hours fore notice, there's a $25 late rescheduling fee. To cancel a lesson or excursion with more than 48 hours fore notice, there's a $25 per person cancellation fee. The 48 hours must be prior to the day on which the sail starts. Lessons rescheduled within 48 hours of the lesson time will incur a fee equal to the price of the lesson. Full refunds are only given in extreme cases on a case by case basis.

  3. Lessons are cancelled if the conditions are deemed unsafe by HRCS. Examples of these conditions are imminent lightning/thunder that will hit our sailing area and winds sustained at 20 knots with gusts above that speed. Rain, cloudiness, and uncomfortable temperatures do not constitute unsafe conditions unless deemed so by an HRCS representative - dress appropriately!

    Thankfully it was a beautiful day and we got to enjoy time on the water. The class was small with 3 students. We rotated jobs on the sail boat and were able to experience each part for a good amount of time. Good, basic intro to sailing.

    I thought this class was very well done. By the time I actually sailed I knew what the terms meant even though at first it seemed like there was too much to comprehend! So enjoyable and fun!
