About This Activity
Perfect for first-time sailors, this class will teach students the basics of sailing. From day one students will hop in a boat and learn basic seamanship skills including steering, trimming sails, and how to fix an accidental capsize! In the beginner class, students may be paired up in the boat or sailing solo, with the goal of working towards sailing the boat by themselves. Mixed into class will be sailing-related games and activities to keep students engaged. Most older students (11-12) only need to take one beginner class before advancing to intermediate, however younger students (8-10) may find a second beginner class helpful for solidifying the basics. Swimming is a requirement for this class (students always wear a lifejacket).
