About this event

This is a 3 week, 6 class session on Tuesdays and Thursdays, sailing 6:00 pm until dark This three-week class is designed for adults who want to further their sailing skills. Students are taught sail shape / trim for conditions, use of a spinnaker, navigational skills and basic racing skills. Classes are structured through on-land lectures and demonstrations, then on-water in a 14-foot Club 420 sailboat to reinforce the lessons. A copy of The Annapolis Book of Seamanship will be provided, if needed. Students are required to wear Type II PFD life jackets (life jackets will be provided for those who do not own their own). All instructors are experienced sailors, many having learned to sail in the SJJF Summer Sailing Program and trained through US Sailing. Prerequisite(s): Completed either the Co-ed Adult or Women’s Sailing class or maneuver a Club 420 sailboat, without an instructor, on a basic course drill, and comfortable with swimming in open water without assistance (minimum 25 yards, tread water for one minute minimum). Send email to info@sjjf.org if you have not taken one of these classes. Monday night community races are available for practice and assessment prior to intermediate sign-up 6 class session – Tuesday and Thursday Evenings, 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM (or until dark) · August 5, 7, 12, 14, 19, 21 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 nights in fall as needed. Classes will be held at the same time in the evening as the other sailing sessions (6pm-dark).
