Traverse Area Community Sailing (TACS)

We are located in Traverse City, Michigan. We are a local non-profit organization, est. 1994, Traverse Area Community Sailing's mission is to provide sailing opportunities for the Grand Traverse Region.

2010 Programs are now open for registration...

Traverse Area Community Sailing saw about 300 sailors of all ages learn to sail at the Cornwell Sailing Center in 2009. We are looking forward to seeing you and your family on Boardman Lake this summer!

Our Programs:

YOUTH SAILING - For children 8-17, the camp is taught by US Sailing certified instructors in 8' prams, Sunfish and JY15's. Each student is placed in a boat and program appropriate to their size and experience.

ADULT LEARN TO SAIL - For the young of heart, our adult program is taught in the 17' Interlakes on Boardman lake.

ADVANCED SAILING - Aimed at sailors who have previously participated in the Youth Sailing Sessions, the Advanced Session teaches sail trim, race tactics and advanced boat handling in 1 person (Lasers), 2 person (JY 15's) and 3 person boats (Interlakes)

TACS RACING TEAM - For Middle and High School students who have completed the Advanced Sailing Session, the Racing Team provides sailors the opportunity to race as part of a crewed boat on a 17' Interlake on Thursdays against some of the best sailors in the area.

FAMILY FUN NIGHT EVERY NIGHT! - Come sailing on Boardman Lake on with a season pass!

High School Racing Team - TACS supports local high school sailors competing in the Midwest Inter-scholastic Sailing Association. Sailors from Glen Lake, Suttons Bay, Traverse City Central and Traverse City West High Schools train on Tues, Wed. & Thurs. afternoons (in season). The teams travel to regattas across the midwest on their quest to have fun & win a National Championship
