Oakcliff accepts trainees with a wide variety of skill levels at a wide range of ages, from absolute beginner sailor to seasoned racer. What we look for is a drive to succeed. If you’re wondering if Oakcliff is right for you, don’t ask yourself, “Am I good enough?” Ask yourself, “Do I want it badly enough?” Trainees who are self-driven, organized, and motivated thrive in Oakcliff’s flexible training environment.
