The Northport Sailing School is on track to having another record year in terms of student numbers, with approximately 176 kids filling 207 class spots this summer.
The school has been operating for the last 16 years in the village of Northport and functions with the help of the board of directors and several different committees. This year, the program has three full time sailing instructors, 17 youth counselors, and numerous volunteers and family members that help to make classes a success for all to enjoy.
“We came roaring back (after the pandemic) and the numbers have gone up. We’re up at least 10% over last year, maybe closer to 20%,” said Andy Neal, the sailing school’s board of directors’ president. “By the first of May, we had well over 150 kids registered.”
