The Program provides 5 support boats, an Opti trailer and a Laser trailer for away regattas. We have an enthusiastic and skilled Optimist racing team as well as some highly competitive 420 and laser sailors. The Club has trained sailors who have competed on a national and international level. Employment would begin approximately mid June and end third week of August. This includes a pre-season work week.
Most weekends are free.
The Instructors should have strong backgrounds in seamanship and sportsmanship and a thorough knowledge of small-boat sailing skills. Red Cross and USSA certification is necessary which the SIYC will fund as necessary. The Club Shelter Island Yacht Club is a traditional, seasonal club strongly devoted to sailing. Located on the eastern end of Long Island, it is within two hours of New York City by bus or train. Shelter Island is a beautiful setting within a short ferry ride to the quiet North Fork vineyards to the north and the bustling, fashionable ocean beaches of the Hamptons to the south.
