Employment Opportunities

COURAGEOUS isn't like your ordinary yacht club.

The COURAGEOUS instruction team is enthusiastic, energetic and diverse. Several are former members and students. Some race competitively in casual and highly competetive racing circuits, both locally and nationally. Others are seasoned racers and cruisers who have sailed across the country and all over the world. Many students, teachers and other professionals looking to take a breather from the real world and spend the summer outside, on the water, doing what they love.

While each brings his or her own experiences and reasons for coming, what unites our instructors is a shared passion for sailing and a commitment to expanding the horizons of the members and students they work with.
