Some highlights and memories from last summer at PPM Sailing School include: ss6

- Lots of fun times for novice through advanced recreational sailing students as they learned or perfected new sailing skills with their instructors and made new sailing friends. Lots of progress was made on the sailing skill charts. Some exciting new sailing DVD’s and rainy day activities are being added this summer, as well as new sailing games on the water.

- Fun times with old and new sailing friends and instructors on the water and by the pool. Quite a few talented “card sharks” at the pavilion and soccer or Frisbee players on the lawn while on lunch break.

-Youth sailors and families had good times together in the Colgate 26 during “family lessons” and got to show off their new skills to each other.

- Junior sailing moms enjoyed being on the water and making new sailing friends during women’s morning sailing lessons, "looks like a good day to circumnavigate Duck Island."

- PPM racing students had fun reuniting at the summer racing clinic in Essex and then going on to qualify in top standing for the ECSA Team Racing Championships. It was only our 5th season in the Team Racing League and we were up against other very established top racing teams – congratulations PPM racers, you’ve come a long way and it will be fun to see how far you go this summer!

- PPM Racers did well in regional fleet racing and were seen wearing their very own cool racing colors.

- The Ken Legler Race Clinic was a racing student summer highlight – everyone enjoyed the Tufts University Coach’s clinic and learned a lot. This year, Bob Adam, Lazer Performance Manager and Rhode Island High School racing coach, will be giving a clinic at PPM.

-Youth racers and friends, instructors, their friends and other PPM Sailing School alums enjoyed racing together on weeknights at Duck Island Yacht Club. Youth racers and instructors had fun helping out on Monday nights as Special Olympic coaches.

- In the adult sailing program, PPM Customers and other boat owners benefited from getting to know their boats better and learning how to more easily leave and return to their docks as well as perfecting the finer points of anchoring, sail trim and cruise preparation.
