A three‑week progressive group course
The curriculum is delivered across three weekly classes (one skill level per week), letting sailors either start at Beginner Part 1 or join at the level that matches their experience.
Knots, rigging and sailing in all directions
The intermediate session focuses on the knots and rigging needed to prepare a boat and reviews sailing techniques for all points of sail.
Short classes, steady progress
Three classes meet once per week and are designed to be an efficient way to build or refresh sailing skills.
