Summer Adult Learn-to-Sail Program Begins July 7
Adult White Sail is an introduction to basic sailing and sailing specific safety. It works through CYA mandated skills so that one can work towards the internationally recognized White Sail III (CANsail 2) certification. Topics to be covered include: knots, points of sail, capsizing, basic helming skills, terminology and much more. With lots of on-the-water practice this course is an exceptional introduction to the sport of sailing. It is also a great precusor for those who eventually wish to sail keel boats. All sailors will learn how to sail in a 420, a two-person dinghy.
