Basic Sailing Classes – Tuesday evenings in March 2020

Basic Sailing Lessons

Tuesdays Evenings in March 2020, 6:30-7:45pm each night

Starting March 3, four weeks of lessons (Tuesdays, March 3, 10, 17 and 24). These classroom lessons are for those new to sailing and those interested in relearning some of the basics.  This is your chance to see what sailing is all about.  We will breakdown sailing videos and learn the basics needed for a good time on a sailboat, whether day-sailing or racing. If the weather is good, we will go out on the water March 24th when Daylight Saving Time gives us one hour of potential sunshine.
