Emphasis is on meeting new friends and relaxing under sail. Since it's not a teaching situation, all participants must have intermediate sailing skills, and be familiar with the 30-foot Shields. All boats will sail together each class meeting, with an instructor escorting. The instructor will provide limited instruction on sail trim and boat handling. Skippers must pass an intermediate Shields exam or the SCA Shields exam.
Boats are limited to one skipper and three guests.
