This Class is 8-week sessions, Sailing will end at dark. This eight-week class is designed for adult students (at least eighteen years old) who want to learn the basics of sailing. Students are taught the parts of a sailboat, the points of sail, and basic knot tying, among other skills. Students are first introduced to sailing through on-land lectures and demonstrations, then go out in a 14-foot Club 420 sailboat to practice the basic skills. In later classes in the session, the students will have an opportunity to sail on a larger keelboat. Prerequisite(s): 18 years old minimum, comfortable swimming in open water without assistance (minimum 25 yards, tread water for minimum one minute) This class is offered: Tuesday evenings, eight weeks MAKEUP DATES: Because sailing is inherently a weather dependent activity, cancellations may occur due to unfavorable sailing conditions. However, these sessions will be made up by adding additional Tuesday nights in fall as needed. Classes will be held at the same time in the evening as the other adult sailing sessions (6pm-10).
