Keel Boat–Introduction to Sailing
This three-hour class will provide a brief introduction to points of sail, sailing terminology, and safety, followed immediately by assignment to an experienced skipper to crew a sailboat. Students will participate in rigging the boat, hoisting sails, sailing to weather and downwind, leaving and returning to dock, and other boat handling skills. Skills will include steering and trimming (adjusting) the sails and simple navigation.
Small Keel Boat—Beginning Sailing Class
Beginning Sailing is a more comprehensive two-day, fourteen-hour course in small (20-24 foot) keelboats. Skills taught are designed to be transferrable to boats of all sizes, from the smallest dinghy to modest-sized keelboats. Instruction will be lead by a US Sailing certified instructor.
Students will learn sailing terminology and boat parts, actively rig and de-rig a boat, work at the tiller and on sail trim, and gain extensive experience using various controls on all points of sail. Students will be actively sailing with an instructor and student crew member within the first couple of hours.
