Camp Staff

You're kids will love our instructors -- they're expert sailors who also know New York inside and out. They're fun, responsible people who can tie a square knot and rig the sails but also know the importance of a good time.

Our sailing instructors are certified by both the American Sailing Association and the US Sailing Association and have worked with sailing schools across the nation and the Caribbean developing their skills.

All of our instructors have substantial offshore sailing passages under their belts and can smoothly and knowledgeably guide kids in their education from novice to advanced sailors. In addition to being great sailors, our instructors are also great educators - many spend their time off the water as professors, academics and teachers.

Logan Rowell

By the time he was 18 years old Logan had already restored a sailboat and was living aboard, sailing throughout the Bahamas. Since then, the North Carolina native has acquired over ten thousand miles offshore as a captain in the Caribbean and Atlantic.

He enjoys working as a sailing instructor with kids, adults, first-timers, and boat owners ready to take it to the next level. Even after seeing everything from a win at Antigua Sailing Week, to a mid-Atlantic knock down, Logan’s greatest thrill is watching students or charter guests catch the sailing bug.
