Everyone still reading this, raise your hand if you learned to sail at a Yacht Club.
I learned to sail at a yacht club, but it was my father who taught me. Back in the 1940's and early '50's I don't think there were such things as sailing centers. Our club didn't even start a junior program until 1957 or '58. During the last 50 years sailing has come a very long way as far as public awareness, accessibility, and training programs.
