Detailed Calendar List
April 14, 2026
College Admissions Strategies for Sailors - 8:30 pm
https://collegesailingwebinar.eventbrite.com
Virtual meeting starting at 8:30 pm.
A free webinar with a college admissions counselor and some sailing coaches from high school and college teams. View details and register at the Additional Info link above.
The event seems focused on teen sailors who are currently engaged in the college application process and seeking how to strengthen an application, or who are looking for an advisor to help guide them through making their applications in a coming year.
So, it will be a different experience than the annual College Sailing Forum that SUNY Maritime College hosted most recently in December 2025 that provided the opportunity to virtually meet and hear from over 15 colleges and learning about their sailing teams.
The webinar is sponsored by various service businesses that are listed at the link above.

This course is also available for parents and volunteers who want to better manage their sailing programs but do not want or need to receive a certification.
This course contains information on how to manage more effectively, problem solve, continue to create a quality learning environment for their students and sailing staff, and where to find additional resources. Topics covered in the course include: classroom and on-the-water teaching techniques, risk management, safety issues, curriculum planning, advanced team building techniques, ethical concerns, and much more.
The online course is spread over ten days. The course consists of five 40-minute live webinars and includes short presentations. The other days are self-paced and consist of video content, group discussion and posts, assignments, quizzes and a final test. Students should expect to spend 20 hours on course work over the ten days.

The US Sailing Level 1 Instructor course is divided into two sections:
- A 3-day in-person section of the Level 1 course is approximately 30 hours and students will be evaluated on their teaching ability, sailing skills, powerboat handling skills and on-water class management, among other topics.
- A self-guided online introduction section of Level 1. The self-guided section allows participants to learn at their own pace and includes no scheduled interaction with an Instructor Trainer. This online course must be completed prior to attendance at the 3-day in-person section. US Sailing recommends that the in-person section is attended within three months of the online course completion for maximum retention and successful completion.
