About this event
Adult Learn-to-Sail on Keelboats:

New sailors will learn parts of the boat, rigging/derigging independently, leaving and returning to a mooring, proper tacking, general safety procedures, and the ability to sail a proper course. Experienced sailors will learn proper sail trim and adjustments, navigation, boat maintence, independent sailing, and leading crew through important safety procedures.
