“Form 990, part iii, line 4a, program service accomplishments: the sailing school remains accessible to all in the region who want to learn how to sail. There are a few safety qualifications that everyone must meet before being admitted, as we do not have an adaptive sailing program at this time. Lastly, the sailing school was given by a wianno senior, a larger, heavier boat for use by our students or any yacht club sailing director who wishes to expose their students to a different type of vessel. Wsf is grateful for the use of this boat, which provides a sailing experience that few can experience anymore. The wianno sailing foundation, inc is extremely proud of its robust and popular sailing school.”

“The wianno sailing foundation, inc. (wsf) continues to ensure that a robust, thriving sailing program exists at 101 bridge street, osterville, ma. Summer of 2024 brought students to our classes, and the return of junior and senior sailing instructors ensures a degree of continuity and safety for all. Wsf promotes and supports four programs within the sailing school: "learn to sail", mab, opti and 420 racing teams, and private lessons. "learn to sail" taught a total of 132 students and remains one of our more popular programs. Mab is for the older students who have graduated from the opti class but no interest in racing. In addition, we integrate racing into the curriculum and private lessons for those families whose schedules conflict with sailing school class times.
