Do you want to learn how to sail but never had the time or opportunity? Now is your chance! Adults ages 18 and up can join us for a one-day introductory sailing class. You’ll learn about small-boat dinghy sailing in the Museum’s custom fleet of Split Rock Sailing Dinghies. Basics include how to sail a small vessel, how to right a capsized boat, how to get out on the water, how to sit in the boat, and more.

This is a class for beginners or anyone looking for a refresher class on how to sail. If you have sailing experience and want to take one of our dinghies out on the lake to enjoy, check out our Open Sailing dates.

The class will be held at the Museum in North Harbor. The class will have a break in the middle of the day for lunch. Please bring a packed lunch and plenty of water to stay hydrated throughout the day. Make sure to wear clothing you don’t mind getting wet and as well as adequate sun protection. The course will include practice of a capsize drill, so expect to be in the water briefly.

Introduction to Dinghy Sailing for Adults is pay-what-you-can with a suggested rate of $125 for the course.

Part of the Jane Austen weekend at The Governor's House, the tea is open to the public. Although this is a full English afternoon tea made popular during the Victorian Era with scones, jam, clotted cream, finger sandwiches, and tea cakes, there will be readings and discussion of tea the way Jane Austen would have enjoyed it during the Regency Period.
