For persons not taking the class the exam also consists of a practical test of sailing skill. Completion of private lesson III is considered to meet the practical requirement. We would still owe you private lesson IV, which you may then take at any time. This method of proceeding may in fact be superior, as you would have the oportunity to sail some on your own and then recieve addtional instruction. Call before each private lesson , even if it looks perfect outside.
Private lessons are wind dependent.
Early afternoon or late evening are usually the worst times. Between 1530 and 1800 there is most likely to be wind, before and after those times there often just is not any wind. If you do not live to far away and it is not too much of a hassle, come on over and we can do something if the wind is light. We can perfect rigging, and you can learn the NNSC wind dance. We can go in the classroom and work in the trainer, or on theory on the chalkboard.
