Learn to Sail
Take the helm or trim the sails. Or if you prefer, just sit back and enjoy the scene.
Our Mission
While many sailing programs in the area focus on racing, most of our clients are primarily interested in cruising. Some have gone on to achieve certifications for bare-boat chartering in the Mediterranean or Caribbean. Others have purchased large sailboats of their own for cruising with family and friends. You will gain proficiency and confidence in many areas:
Terminology
the language of sailing
Marlinspike
knots, hitches, bends commonly used in boating
Handling under power & in tight quarters
usually the most nerve-wracking part of boating
Boat systems
how does the “head” work? Care & feeding of a diesel engine
Sail handling
upwind, downwind, across the wind, reefing, optimizing sail trim
Safety
Rules of the road, weather, heavy weather tactics, man-overboard retrieval
Coastal navigation
