It is our core course and is best for most people.
All instruction is given on the boat, on the water.
Includes sailing theory, points of sail, sail trim, sailing on and off moorings, man overboard drills, tacking, jibing and reefing. Basic chart reading, course plotting, rules of the road, collision avoidance and the buoyage system. You sail the boat right away in the first lesson in all kinds of weather, and perform crew assignments on a rotating basis. Each date is the start of a new course. This course is designed for the person who is competent to skipper sailboats to about 24' in typical near shore, day sailing conditions.
