Helmsmen Sailing Program

GREAT LAKES SAILING AT ITS BEST.  Helmsmen move up the sailing ladder to HWH’s larger class sailboats – the Class C, M, and E-scow designs. These boats are perfectly suited to teach the rudiments of sailing. After honing their skills, the campers enjoy an eight-day challenge on the North Channel of Lake Huronaboard a Hunter 386 tri-cabin sloop. This new vessel is maxed out with the latest in electronics and is fast on the water.
