Last summer, Chris Smith joined the program as a volunteer instructor, and along with staff instructor Peter Grumbling, they raised the bar considerably with their knowledge of sailing, their passion and their easy-going teaching style. Chris will continue as a catboat instructor in a more official capacity. We hope that Peter will return despite graduating from college and all the pressures of career that might bring. Our core of volunteer catboat instructors will continue to step in to fulfill the needs of the program.Our fleet of Marshall Sandpipers is the foundation of the program. They are a versatile teaching boat having all the wonderful catboat characteristics: stability, large cockpit and ability to shorten sail. Our fleet is well-maintained, and all equipment is updated annually as needed. It is from this solid foundation that our instructors can successfully teach!Catboat classes and programs are open to adults 18 years or older and run from mid-June through Labor Day.  For help with class registration (Levels 1-3), please contact Registrar Ellen Peterson: info@pbcb.cc or 508-945-7245.
