This course is a fun introduction to rigging a keel boat and sailing as a team under instruction. This is the perfect balance between the luxury of yacht sailing, and the excitement of dinghy sailing. In a larger, more stable boat you have more time to think about what you are doing and have very little chance of getting wet.

There are no pre-requisites for this course.
