We motivate students to enjoy their experience in a safe, productive and comfortable environment, but most importantly, we want everyone to have FUN!
The beginning course is designed to prepare a student for day sailing on a boat powered only by the wind. As students progress through the classes they’ll gain knowledge, and experience, on bigger vessels that have more complex systems and are also powered by inboard engines.
This graduated learning process allows students to reinforce and develop practical “on-the-water” skills while also gaining valuable boating knowledge, serving to gradually round out a sailor’s education.
