Hawaii Yacht Club’s Junior Sailing Academy at the Ala Wai Harbor teaches keiki ages 8-18 through progressive skill levels – from Manini (safety, rigging, points of sail) up through racing, Responsible Skipper, and Apprentice Instructor. Classes run weekly rather than in seasonal blocks, with beginner and advanced-racing groups on Saturdays, Friday dinghy racing, and two junior club regattas each spring and fall. A new Saturday-morning Marine Discovery Academy marine-STEAM program (knot-tying, marine science, navigation, boat-building, Hawaiian wayfinding) launches in fall 2026.
