How can i prepare for my course?
Our courses are designed for everyone, so if you arrive to your course knowing absolutely nothing, you'll be in good hands.
However, if you're the type to prepare (and we recommend you do), there are innumerable amounts of free materials and videos online to guide the beginner sailor.
The American Sailing Association has a free Online Sailing Course entitled “Your First Sail”. In this fun and interactive course you will learn sailboat basics, including sailing terminology, commands used at the helm, and how the sails move the boat forward.
What will I need to know for Basic Keelboat?
This course will include 2.5 days of instruction (6 hours for the first two days, and 4 hours on the 3rd day). This format assists learning by providing lots of repetition and time to practice skills multiple times, while not overwhelming students with too much in one go. With small class sizes (max 2 students), you will have plenty of opportunity to sail as the helmsman and then crew.
As each day is quite full, we encourage students to bring the following with them for their course:
- snacks / lunch
- sunscreen
- a comfortable sunhat
- deck or tennis shoes (white, non-marking soles)
- sailing/bike gloves (optional)

In this course, it is assumed that you have some experience sailing already, including basic skills in tacking and jibing, as this course focuses on more advanced skills such as man overboard, anchoring, reefing and heaving-to.

Same as Basic Coastal Cruising, this course will include 2.5 days of instruction (6 hours for the first two days, and 4 hours on the 3rd day).

In this advanced course, it is assumed that you have a working familiarity with sailing basics and some cruising experience (such as anchoring, reefing, and heaving-to). In this course, the focus will be on more long-distance crusing skills such as navigation and weather-window planning, provisioning, and basic maintenance checks.
