Basic Sailing 101
Life Jacket Required
Classroom, Rigging, Knots, etc
We’ve taught many sailors who often start in small boats, then work their way up to larger ones. Even when you own a large sailboat, it is important to think of the vessel as a big dinghy.
This classroom and on the water and teaches basic sailing skills on small boats (14’ Lasers and 13’ Flying Juniors).
Sailor’s talk (basic definitions and technical words)
Marlinspike (knots & lines)
Right-of-way (rules of the road)
Reading the wind and waves
Sail trim and draft control
Safety versus self protection
Sail care
Rigging
On the water around the buoys
Righting the boat after a capsize
And, for you harder core sailors who want to get wet, we teach Laser sailing after 12:00 noon with our advanced class. Lots of line time with windward and downwind practice.
We will supply the boat and sails...
Class ends around 17:00 hrs.
