As well, our keelboats have motors that allow us to power without the sails up. Most of our adults take keelboat training. The answer really has to do with your sailing goals. Most adults would like to eventually sail with family and friends for a day or longer. As well, keelboat training prepares you for bareboat chartering.
Sailing is a sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
Some of our students are retired and are looking for a new sport. Sailing can be enjoyed at whatever pace you choose. While there is a physical element to sailing, cruising is not a speed endurance activity. When you first take your lessons, wear normal outdoor clothing. As well, bring running shoes and a hat.
