Frequently asked questions

What should I bring?

Clothes you can layer, suitable for all weather, including a hat and raincoat. Please wear closed-toe shoes. Sunglasses and sunscreen are a good idea. Some folks like sailing gloves or similar garden-like gloves that fit snugly. We suggest applying sunscreen even on days when it is cloudy.

Do I need a lifejacket?

We can provide you with a lifejacket (PFD), but if you have your own feel free to bring it.

Where is SailMaine? Where Do I Park?

We are on the water next to the Fore Points Marina. We do not have a physical address or number posted anywhere, but look for the flying orange and white flags! Parking: SailMaine does not have a parking lot. You will find free street parking within a 10-minute walk of SailMaine (please read the str

What happens when I arrive?

Go to the office check-in window to confirm your lesson. If no one is at the window to check you in, they are out on the launch and will return soon. If your instructor does not greet you directly, sit under the tent, and you will connect shortly.

How do we handle tough conditions?

Your instructor will determine before you get on the launch if conditions are suitable for a lesson. We sail in light rain, but not high winds (20+ knots) or storms.
