ROCKLAND — With summer winding down, it’s time to be thinking about fall high school sailing on Rockland Harbor. The Apprenticeshop partners with area schools to provide a sailing team for students, and all area youth in grades 7 through 12 are welcome to join the High School Sailing team.

The press release notes that some sailing experience is suggested. The season lasts eight weeks with two practices each week: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Maine-based regattas are held on the weekends.

Cost for the season is $300 and scholarships are available. Those students who are curious about High School Sailing are invited to a free “Come-Check-It-Out Day” on Monday, Aug. 22 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. 

To sign up for Fall High School Sailing online visit apprenticeshop.org/high-school-sailing. For more information, call 207-594-1800.

The Apprenticeshop offers sailing from March through October for all area youth and adults. The Community Sailing scholarship program insures that students are never left on the dock because of cost. Located at 655 Main Street in Rockland’s North End, The Apprenticeshop is a school for traditional boatbuilding, sailing and seamanship, a small boat livery, and various waterfront services.
