Spring Registration

We are undergoing a few changes internally to our system and will now be opening registration on January 7th.  The full list of Spring Classes, dates, times, costs can be found on our website   Please make sure you know what you would like your child to be registered in before the registration opens.  Many of our classes have a limited class size.    

Upcoming Clinics

We have multiple clinics this month at PYSF!!  You can find a link to register under our Quick Links on the homepage.  I highly recommend you take as many of these that apply to you.  They will be extremely helpful for your sailing going forward both this season and beyond.  Here is a list of all that we are offering in the month of January:
