Smith Mountain Lake Sailing School

SML Sailing School was formed in 2006 to provide US Sailing Certified Instruction for beginning sailors and coaching for experienced sailors who wish to improve their skills.

Classes range from basic boat handling and sail trim for individuals to racing and spinnaker maneuvers with your crew. Our Novice Courses will give you an understanding of sailing principles and plenty of “on water” experience sailing the J/24. Advanced sailors may sail solo on the Laser Sailboats or the Tanzer 16.
