Steady and predictable afternoon winds provide ideal conditions for fast and thorough learning. Our program is designed such that graduates of our Basic and Intermediate Sailing curriculum will be prepared to safely handle a small sail boat in winds as strong as 15 knots. All Sailing courses take place at the UC Aquatic Center at the Berkeley Marina and are staffed with experienced and trained instructors. We also provide motor boat support for safety.
All prices listed are community prices.
Basic Sailing In Basic Sailing we teach theory, safety and skills through lectures, demonstrations and practice in our fleet of Coronado 15's. You'll learn the basics including launching, rigging, steering, sail trim, capsize recovery, right of way, and docking. Cal Adventures offers both weekend and midweek Basic Sailing classes at the UC Aquatic Center. The third session of this class will be on Nov 30 due to the Thanksgiving holiday. This class is designed so that you may further develop your newly acquired sailing skills.
