Sailing Fundamentals Class - hands on (June 11 & 12)

June 11 & 12 (Wednesday & Thursday)
With access to a docked, 27-foot sailboat, this is a hands-on course which teaches the principles of sloop-rigged sailing using the textbook *Learning Sailing Right: Beginning Sailing (*a US Sailing Association publication). Students will neither be skippering nor crewing undersail – this is an experiential principles course dockside, not a skills-building course on the open water. After completing this course, students will be fully knowledgeable to enroll in an on-water sailing school skills course. Class times are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both days.
