“It is not the ship so much as the skillful sailing that assures the prosperous voyage.” George William Curtis
“Men go back to the mountains, as they go back to sailing ships at sea, because in the mountains and on the sea they must face up.” Henry David Thoreau
Smith Mountain Lake Sailing School was formed 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 manuevers with your crew. Novice Courses will give you an understanding of sailing principals and plenty of "on-water" experience sailing the J24. Advanced sailors may sail solo on the Laser Sailboats.Classes are scheduled by appointment and run 3-4 hours.
SML Sailing can be experienced on school boats or on the student's boat, always focused on safety, good seamanship and having fun. They are located on Smith Mountain Lake off Gills Creek in Franklin County, about 45 minutes southeast of Roanoke, VA. About 25 minutes from The Claiborne House Bed and Breakfast.
