Summer Sailing

Hampton Yacht Club offers a variety of summer programs. They are a community-friendly club with a great junior membership opportunity. The tunnel can be daunting, but there are quiet spaces for parents to work remotely and there would likely be carpool opportunities from the south side. https://www.hamptonyc.com/seasonalsailing
