Multiple Locations – Offshore Sailing School – Set Sail…

Offshore Sailing School

www.offshoresailing.com

Why You’ll Love It

• Family owned and operated
• Individual instruction in a class size of four
• 6 hours of classroom prep and 18 hours of sailing

A love of adventure on the high seas led founder Steve Colgate to create Offshore Sailing School in 1964. He and his wife Doris use their experience as active members of US SAILING and other prestigious organizations to grant you sea legs in no time.

Learn to sail at the helm of a Colgate 26, the boat designed by Steve Colgate specifically for teaching. The US Coast Guard Academy and US Naval Academy use the same boat for their own training, so you’ll be in good company.

Give yourself a well-deserved break from stressful deadlines and daunting errands and enjoy a creative take on relaxation. Leave your worries ashore as you sip wine and paint personal masterpieces, all while sailing across the Potomac with UnWined Art.

A fruit and vase still life. Monet’s water lilies. Or (our personal favorite) bold red poppies. Just choose which image strikes your fancy and get ready to add some art to your collection—best of all, it’s uniquely you.

Whether you choose to paint on land or by sea, UnWined Art makes the simple act of putting brush to canvas a new way to catch up with the girls or show Mom around town.
