High-performance sailing training center in Oyster Bay for youth and adult athletes who have progressed beyond traditional coaching, oriented toward America's Cup, Olympic and offshore racing pathways. Programs range from two-week summer intensives (the Acorn Program) to longer apprenticeship-style Sapling residencies, plus weekend clinics and regattas; the center publishes housing and logistics information for participants. It serves sailors roughly 15 and older, including adults, and lists scholarships and financial aid. Oakcliff is a nonprofit whose stated goal is to build American leaders through sailing.
