Racing
If you currently race and want to move up in your fleet, if you’re wining now and then but could use some hard-core hands-on coaching to make you race better, if you want to keep from getting rusty while it’s still cold up north, you’ll benefit greatly from Offshore’s racing courses.

You’ll learn to race on the spirited, high-performance Colgate 26’s with all the go-fast adjustments and quick reaction you need to fine tune your skills. You’ll find that what you learn on the Colgate 26 easily converts to the boat you now sail.

Performance Sailing
This is one of the most highly praised courses we offer. It's the next step up from Learn to Sail and a precursor to Racing courses. Of great appeal to those who intend to continue sailing in daysailors or pocket-cruiser size boats, the course elaborates on how to make your sailboat perform to its maximum potential. In addition, it expands and solidifies your knowledge and confidence level through comprehensive safety exercises and techniques. Most courses are co-ed and a great way to meet others with lifestyles like yours. This course is also available during our popular Women’s Escape Weeks.

Even if your ultimate goal is cruising, you'll find this course invaluable in re-establishing your understanding of sailing.

‘Racing Seminars’ - Performance Race Weeks
Imagine yourself on the white sandy shore of one of the best beaches in the world. You are racing a world-class boat, learning from world-class sailing educators, staying in a world-class hotel. Image a regatta series where your performance improves with every race. Imagine what you could learn with a coach on board while you race. From the first night BBQ to evening happy hours and the awards dinner, you’re immersed in top-notch racing. Four hours on the water, three hours of seminars, an hour of video review each day … it’s all included. And tons of fun, too!
