Four weekly preseason sessions will focus on understanding the principles of sailing and fun demonstrations to prepare for the sailing season. Students will have a sailing instructor on board for initial sailing lessons. 

Recruitment focuses on Pittsburgh Public Schools. Students in other Pittsburgh area high schools are also welcome. Rising 9th to 12th graders (ages 14 to 18) are eligible to apply.
