The Lessons
Basic Sailing Certificate:
Instruction for two adults - 16 hours
on the water. Windward
is the only club in the bay that offers private instruction for beginners. Our
one-to-one class assures you that you get the training that is necessary to
be safe on the water. Private instruction also means you learn at your
own pace and can finish the instruction in a shorter amount of time rather
than being
constrained to a weekly course. Training includes boat preparation, engine
review, docking, raising sails, trimming sails, rules-of-the-road, tacking
and jibing, weather helm and reefing, man-over-board, anchoring and boat etiquette. Cost
is $475.00 and includes the boat, instructor, yourself and a sailing companion
if you bring one !
Note:
Members with prior sailing experience may challenge our check-ride
and navigation test to become a member by submitting a sailing resume and passing
our tests.
