You’ll be receiving a confirmation email shortly with your sail’s details, a receipt of the purchase, and a link to our Preparing to Sail page. Included in this course are several instructional materials, including the Basic Keelboat sailing textbook. Stop by the office anytime to pick it up, or receive it the first day of the class. Half of sailing is learning the terms and their meanings, which can easily be studied in advance. However there are no pre-requisites for this course and advanced study is not necessary, but encouraged.
