Tabor Sailing School
At the Tabor Sailing School, every sailor finds their place on the water. We welcome sailors of all experience levels to learn, explore, and grow on the waters of Buzzards Bay. Each day brings hands-on adventure—rigging boats, reading the wind, and refining technique under the guidance of expert coaches. From first-time beginners to confident racers, students build skill, independence, and teamwork while discovering the joy of life under sail. With every breeze, tack, and race they gain not only confidence on the water but a lifelong connection to the sea.
The Tabor Sailing School offers the following programs ↓
Development Class
