Learn How to Sail - Course Description

Learn to Sail in Three Weekends

Our Three Weekend Learn to Sail course covers the same material as our 5 day Learn to Sail Course.  If you really want to learn the ropes and you only have weekends free, this is the one for you. 

The three weekend Learn to Sail Course consists of the sequence of three separate weekend workshops.  We begin with the Sailing Fundamentals Weekend, then follow that up with the Intermediate Sailing & Seamanship Weekend.  We finish up with the Advanced Boathandling Weekend which will have you flying across the Bay with the spinnaker up!  The weekends do not have to be taken consecutively, but should be taken as close together as possible to maintain continuity.

This course is extremely comprehensive.  Using the modern J/80 as our teaching platform, we begin with basic boat-handling and progress at a rate which will keep the sailing fun and the best of students challenged!  We spend more time on the water in one day than many schools do in an entire class.  And with a maximum of four sailors per boat, all attendees are certain to receive plenty of personal attention.  Participants gain extensive hand-on experience, building the sailing skills knowledge to pursue sailing endeavors on their own, with confidence.

Confidence through Competence

Without question, this is the ultimate course for learning to sail.  If you are going to invest the time and the money, make sure you get the most of both, so that you can get the most out of sailing.  Our J World curriculum, continually refined in over 25 years of teaching sailors, far exceeds any other schools' or organizations' criteria for 'basic' level sailing courses.  Topics include:

Our ultimate goal in this class is that by the final Sunday, each student feels competent skippering a small keelboat without instructor input. If the three-weekend program doesn't fit into your schedule, check out our 5 Day Learn to Sail course.
