Throughout the year, SEA offers a variety of special classes and workshops to enhance your sailing skills. Check back often as classes are added to the schedule frequently.
Advanced Dinghy Prerequisite: Intro to Sailing This course designed to challenge the intermediate student all day long, from docking exercises to MOBs to single handing to racing and sailing games. This class is set up to push the moderate student so that by the end of the day they will have the knowledge and confidence to get to anywhere anytime using a dinghy. We will focus on hiking out and using the tiller extension as well as hoving to and reefing on the fly. Keeping your boat safe and having fun is what this class is all about, and we will do it by running through some fun drills, including sailing in the dark, where the crew instructs the helmsman, who has her eyes closed, where to go. We will also practice sailing in a confined area and dealing with broken gear i.e. sailing with just a jib or just a main, as well as many other drills. Be prepared to be challenged!! This a one day class on the water. 9am to 4pm Please contact the office for our Spring/ Summer schedule.

This will be a condensed version of our four week class melted down into one day. We will start with basic sailing knowledge; proper gear, points of sail, knots, safety precautions on the dock and the water. We’ll review rigging and reefing and then go sailing with the focus at first just on the basics; tacking, jibing and docking a dingy. Depending on the level of the students then we will do some racing or some fun sailing games including the channel of doom and the drunken boater game.
