Description

Learning to sail is just the beginning of a lifetime of fun and adventure on the water. We are excited to offer a bundle that takes you seamlessly from learning all of the basics in our Learn to Sail Complete course to enjoying a full season of sailing on Boston Harbor! The membership lets you continue to hone your new sailing skills while taking your friends and family for a leisurely cruise around the harbor.

More About the Course

At the end of Learn to Sail, most students are ready to skipper one of our Rhodes 19 keelboats on their own. Your instructor, who will always be in the boat with you and up to two fellow students, will guide you through the sailing fundamentals, combining short chalk talks and extensive on-the-water coaching to help you develop and reinforce new skills. You’ll learn how to rig and de-rig your boat, leave and return to the dock safely, adjust your sails and rudder to make the boat go where you want, understand the basics of how sailing works, and tie some important knots (always a good way to impress your non-sailing friends!).

For more information about the course, visit the Learn to Sail Complete page.
