Job Description

Huguenot Yacht Club in New Rochelle, NY, is seeking a Sailing Director for the 2025 summer season.  

Applicants should be experienced, accomplished sailors who sail year-round, for example, in college, independent, or on corinthian teams, and show a continuing interest in improving their sailing skills at all levels. 

The Sailing Director will lead our team of ten Sailing Instructors and an Administrator to our Junior Sailing program with the overall goal of a positive summer sailing experience for our junior sailors. The Sailing Director will be responsible to the Junior Sailing Committee Chairman.

Our Junior Program will have 35-50 Optimist, Laser, and Feva sailors ranging from 8 to 16 years of age. The mission of this program is to introduce juniors to the sport of sailing, which is not just an isolated skill but also a way of life as a lifelong physical activity. 

Our Big Boat Program has sailors ages 14 to 17, which is integral to the dinghy program. The aim is to introduce the older juniors to big boat sailing by promoting safety, seamanship, and competition in the day and distance races.  

The Sailing Director will work about 40 hours weekly, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, with optional weekend work available.  
Lunch at the Yacht Club is provided.  
Housing available.
