NSP provides sailing instruction for beginners through advanced racing, to students from age 8 and up. NSP’s sailboat fleet of Optimist and 420 dinghies and Rhodes 19 keelboats is well suited to meet the needs of a range of sailing skills and interests. Along with sailing, we work to develop other important, life-long skills such as friendship and teamwork.

The majority of our experienced instructor team have been a part of the program since they were little and are dedicated to creating a safe and fun learning environment for the students.

Note: All students must pass a swim test, in the ocean, on the first day of class.

NSP HAS RECENTLY BEEN ABLE TO PROCURE:

- a new outboard

- 2 race-ready 420s

- 3 Rhodes 19 (to provide more safety - among other things - for our beginners)

- 1 Rhodes 19 trailer

- 15 optimists

- 8 opti dollies

- 2 new motor boats with trailers to enhance the reliability, utility, and safety of the fleet

- a large rack to store boats at the wharf

- 3 sets of new sails for the 420's so our racers can be competitive

The cost for expensive, but necessary items is not covered by the registration fees or Town of Nahant's contribution. Only through the dedication of volunteers, generous donors and support of these NSP/FNS fund raisers is NSP able to provide a comprehensive sailing program as such a reasonable price. So thanks again for all the support.
