The
Seamanship Sail Course provides the knowledge required to
operate a sailboat safely in most conditions. Building upon the skills
gained in Piloting, this course will acquaint the beginner sailor with
day-sailing in protected waters, and allow experienced sailors to sharpen
their skills.
Emphasis is placed on how a sailboat works and the special terminology
associated with sailboats and sailing, as well as practical seamanship.
While there is no chart work or navigation, the particular problems of
piloting under sail, and making progress to windward are discussed.
Expose the mysteries of sailboat systems and handling. Sign up for the
