Intermediate Sailing

Intermediate Sailing/Seamanship Course Description

The Intermediate Sailing weekend course is also known as our seamanship weekend. This course builds on basic skills and puts them into practice. We cover reefing, heaving-to, crew overboard recovery, and a wide range of other seamanship skills which are crucial to safe sailing. But we also use these drills to achieve a better understanding of sailing dynamics and improve our boathandling. At J/World, we believe that a good feeling and sensibility of how a boat moves through the water, and how the wind affects our sails, will make for a more efficient, less stressful, and safer sailing experience.
