Basic Sailing Course
We
start with the basics - like how to wear a lifejacket.
Then
there is the swim test. We want to make sure you are a strong swimmer.
Swim
50 yards without a lifejacket...
...and
float for 5 minutes.
We
have each person tip over the Opti and practice righting it again.
Now
you don't have to worry about a capsize, because you know what to do.
Sculling
races build your confidence in handling the boats.
You
learn how to move the boat with just the rudder.
Then
we learn how to trim the sails, and tack and jibe.
...and
sail!
The safety boat and coaches are always close by.
