New sailors practice from 4 – 7 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

At 6:30,  parent volunteers provide an after-practice meal for the sailors while the coaches debrief. You can partner with another family if you wish.

Drop off and pick up is always at the Sailing Center:

3206 Orchard Lake Rd
Orchard Lake MI 48324  

Base layers, boots, gloves, hat, dry suit and life jacket are needed. Also bring a change  of clothes from your school clothes to practice. 

Dry suits can be rented at signup, or  coach Jim sells a range of gear at a discount to CSS Members.
