Item Description
The winning bidder will receive a gift certificate valid for Summer Sailing Instruction for Youth ages 8-15.
Located on the Caloosahatchee River in downtown Fort Myers, Florida, the Center teaches children the fundamentals of sailing. In addition to its fleets of International Dinghies, Optimist and Lasers, we also teach children (ages 10 and up) to safely operate motorboats. Group classes, adult instruction and private lessons are scheduled as registration warrants.
For those who want to go beyond the basics, the Center has a year-round program that teaches all areas, with an emphasis on racing. Our sailors participate in regional, state, and national regattas. We also offer Level I USSA Instructor training for interested individuals.
Edison Sailing Center was conceived in 1984 as a way to bring sailing to Southwest Florida's young people. Using donated Optimist prams and lasers, the group (then operating under the name Royal Palm Sailing Club) started teaching sailing to kids during the summer months. Response to the program was so positive that classes continued throughout the year. The children not only wanted to sail, but they also wanted to race, giving birth to the Royal Palm Sailing Team.
Our members have raced in many statewide regattas as well as national and even international events. In 1992 the city of Fort Myers leased the present downtown location. In keeping with the local theme, the new facility was named the Edison Sailing Center.
