Basic Sailing Class
Our Basic Sailing class is taught in our Quest sailboat which requires two people to be in the boat to sail. Because of this and the COVID-19 regulations we are requiring registrants to be two people from the same household/cohort. Participants cannot register as an individual, they must register as a pair.
The book used for this course if the Learn Sailing Right Beginning Sailing book (IBSN: 978-0-979467-2-1). The book is included in the cost of the class. Picking up your book early is recommended but not required.
