BEGINNER Sailors learn how sailboats work, about the wind, rigging and terminology. We will start by learning to steer near shore and practice the movements for tacking. In each class we’ll review what we learned before and practice. During the sessions we’ll learn to sail on a “reach” and to “tack” (turn) and progress to sailing “upwind” and “downwind” and “gybing”. We will also learn to right the boat after a capsize, lots of sailing terminology, and how to tie knots.
ADVENTURE Sailors learn how to sail on different boats and a under a variety of conditions. This broadens their sailing experience.
