So I was just looking online at sailing lessons for kids and adults nearby on www.lwsa.org and on www.squamlakes.org. Gilford is closer, but Squam has less boat traffic. I get that. Then I saw the types of boats. At LWSA in Gilford they have Open Pics, Optimists, 420 s, Sonars, and J80 s. So they have small boats but they also teach kids and adults on the big boats like 26foot Sonar and J80. Squam only has small Optimists and Club Juniors. The other thing is that in Gilford the 420 sailboats the kids use are the main sailboats that high school and college sailing teams use and the J80 boat is a popular racing boat for adults. The Squam sailboats are not really useful later in life. That is important to me. Maybe the kids will sail in high school or college.
