We are excited to be included with a few of our fellow sailors in an article about family sailing in New York City.
Family sailing lessons have a different vibe than group lessons with strangers. For starters, children are better students, said Miles Pincus, an owner of Atlantic Yachting, which offers, among other programs, a three-hour Introduction to Sailing for curious families.

Kids Sailing Around the World
Mon, October 19, 2009 | Sailing News 
Jessica Watson, a 16-year-old Australian, began her attempt at solo circumnavigation on Sunday when she left Sydney in her yacht. She plans on spending the next eight months at sea sailing some 28,000 miles around the world on her 10-meter boat, hoping to become the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe alone. Her departure was not without controversy, however: the government in her home state of Queensland, as well as some of Australia’s most experienced sailors, have urged her not to try. Watson’s attempt comes just a few months after 13-year-old Laura Dekker of Holland was ordered into state care to scuttle her own plans to break the record; the current record-holder is 17-year-old Mike Perham, who completed his circumnavigation in August.

We're featured on Daily Candy
Wed, July 22, 2009 | Events | Press | Sailing News Thanks to the folks at Daily Candy who made this awesome video about learning to sail. We had a blast sailing with them. Here's their review and video below:
We’re on a boat, mofos.
Except this big, blue, watery road is the Hudson, and, instead of T-Pain, we’re cruising with the boys from Atlantic Yachting, a sailing outfit offering affordable lessons and charters right outta the West 79th Street Boat Basin.
In today’s video, sailors Logan and Jonathan — last names withheld to protect them from admirers — showed us the ropes (literally) as we made our way up to the George Washington Bridge.
Yes, the boys are both in need of a first mate.
And they run a seriously tight ship.

Learn to sail in a weekend on 79th street
By LYNDA BAQUERO
Did you know you can learn to sail in just a weekend....on 79th Street? That's just one way to "Take A Break" in the Big Apple.
I went out onto the Hudson, with Captain Logan Rowell and Jonathan Horvath, of Atlantic Yachting, from the 79th Street Boat Basin on a beautiful Beneteau sloop called "Go Lightly"...and was told, "if you learn how to sail here, you can sail literally anywhere". It's kinda like driving in the Big Apple, right?
Atlantic Yachting offers weekend sailing courses, where Rowell told me "total novices come leaving like they truly know how to sail." Students are taught sailing theory, water safety, and all aboutknots, over the course of two days. And having the Hudson River as a classroom adds to the fun. Rowell says that"because of the buildings, the wind is very funky around here."
Horvath warned about keeping a close eye on watercraft around you because "there's lots of business traffic around here. You have water taxis, you got people going to Ikea back and forth, and you got barges...everything."
But if you want others to do the work while you enjoy being on the water, Atlantic Yachting offerschartersails for as little as $399.Their sailboats are decked out with all the amenities, and they serve drinks and gourmet catering. It's like having your own floating, private nightclub.
