The Lake Eustis Youth Sailing Foundation’s goal is to promote the sport of sailing for the benefit of youth in our area in an environment which stresses safety, sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage, self confidence, respect for authority, the environment and our community.

The Lake Eustis Youth Sailing Foundation offers: Year round sail training programs for junior sailors, age 8-18, weekends during the school months and sail training camps during the vacations.

Advanced junior sailors in our intermediate and advanced sailing classes, who love to sail and want to learn more about racing, are invited to join our JUNIOR RACING TEAM and will have the opportunity to participate with our Teams in several Junior Sailing Regattas throughout Florida.

Lots of sail training	Lots of Fun

All our junior sailing programs are supervised and coached by our "US Sailing" Certified Instructors. Safety is our first concern! That is why we follow all of the US Sailing's safety guidelines at the LEYSF's Junior Sailing Programs. All safety issues are constantly monitored and safety is the foremost priority during the sailing lessons. All participants in our Junior Sailing Programs must follow the LEYSF common sense conduct and safety rules, click here to download the rules
