FAQ’S...

How early should I sign up for the Fort Worth Boat Club Summer Jr. Program?

As soon as possible. Space is limited.

What are my payment options for our Summer Sailing Sessions?

Check or Club Membership #. Registration Form, Medical Form , & Behavior Form must be filled out

prior to participation. If you are a non FWBC member you may charge fees to your home club.

Is my child ready to travel to regattas?

The answer is yes. If sailing is the sport he or she loves then kids can compete at all levels of sailing. 99%

of the regattas have a Green Fleet. I’ve been to regattas where there were over 90 Green Fleeters on

the starting line. The more they sail, the better they get.

What if my child isn’t interested in racing?

Sailing is a lifetime sport and your children will be able to do it all their lives. We have a great summer

program that is dedicated to teaching all kids to sail and have fun with sailing. During the summer

months when the water is warm and comfortable, kids have the opportunity learn to sail and enjoy the

water and have fun. We offer Fall and Spring classes for our recreational sailors to keep the fun going.

There is something for everyone at the Fort Worth Boat Club.

Does FWBC offer supervision after class?

No, please make sure your kids are picked up or supervised promptly after class ends.
