We are accredited by the American Sailing Association to give certification lessons for sailing and wind surfing. Certification lessons provide the sailor with a comprehensive foundation to grow with. The lessons start out with the beginner class then progress to cover topics such as rigging, righting a capsized boat, sailing to all points of wind, and self-rescue on a wind surfer. Learning to wind surf on the Currituck Sound is extremely easy due to the water being very shallow. If for some reason this happens, we have a chase boat to retrieve them.
Classes go over starting, steering, and tacking.
As you practice what you have learned, your instructor circulates among the students to provide encouragement, critiques, and corrections. Catamarans Something new in the Summer of 98 will be sailing lessons on catamarans. Come out and experience the thrill and speed of a Hobie Cat or Super Cat. Our new catamaran class is designed to teach the student who has some previous experience with the idiosyncracies of sailing a multi-hulled sailboat. This involves tacking, jibing, righting a capsized boat, and weather permitting, how to use a trapeze harness.
