Following a review of nomenclature and basic rigging, safety and sailing maneuvers sailors will advance to on-the-water activities that consolidate skills and teach new ones during longer sails around Burlington Bay. This course will refine boat handling skills and introduce advanced equipment. Sailors will also learn beginning racing skills including starts, tactical tips, and winning strategies.

This course is the foundation of all future training and, therefore, basic requirements must be met (academic portion, pool work and check-out dives). Please see the special instructions page for more information.
