was formed in 2006 to provide US Sailing Certifiied Instruction for beginning sailors and coaching for experienced sailors who wish to improve their skills.

Classes range from basic boat handling and sail trim for individuals to racing and spinnaker maneuvers with your crew. Our Novice Courses will give you an understanding of sailing principles and plenty of "on water" experience sailing the J/24. Advanced sailors may sail solo on the Laser Sailboats or the Tanzer 16.

Classes are scheduled by appointment and run five hours. SML Sailing is always focused on safety, good seamanship and having fun.

We are located on Smith Mountain Lake off Gills Creek, 45 minutes south-east of Roanoke, Virginia.

invites you to spend a half day charter with Captain Pete for groups up to four sailors. Relax and enjoy the ride or help trim sail and steer the boat.

This option allows you to experience the beauty of Smith Mountain Lake while under sail.

The charter may be booked on either the J/24 "Rascal" or the O'Day 35 Joie de Vivre". For More information or to enroll in a class or arrange for private coaching please contact us.
