Adult Learn to Sail

 

Adult Learn-to-Sail

 

Have you ever wanted to learn to sail or become a better crew member?  If so, our adult learn to sail program is the place for you! It’s a great way to learn the basics of sailing and safe boating while strengthening existing friendships or creating new ones.  The class will be taught both afloat and ashore and the curriculum will focus on basic knowledge such as knot tying, rigging, docking, basic rules, and terminology.

 

Classes will be held on Thursday nights from 6-9pm. (June 19th and 26th, July 9th, and 16th) Feel free to grab dinner at the club before hand or drinks afterward!

 

Hope to see you all out there. It’ll be a great opportunity to have fun and enjoy the summer festivities!
