Keelboat Dockside Class
This class is the next step up from the Adult Beginning Sailing classes on the Catalinas.
And, it is the pre-requisite for the new Adult Intermediate Keelboat classes which will be coming up later in May and June!
In the Dockside class, we will cover a number of topics to prepare you to start sailing the SEA keel sloop, Tackful, a Santana 22. The Santana 22 is the perfect next step after the Catalinas. She sails well in both light and heavy wind, is easy to handle, and can be docked under sail.
This 6 hour class will cover parts of the keelboat, outboard engine operation, safety equipment, anchor and anchoring, discussion of boat balance and person overboard techniques.
Price: $200
Location: Loch Lomond Marina
Prerequisites: Small Boat Beginning Sailing or permission of the instructor
Days: Date TBA based on interest.
Time: TBA
Boats: Tackful
Currently we are not offering this class, dates will be posted if the class is offered in 2023.
Covered in the dockside class:
* US Coast Guard required equipment
* Other recommended safety equipment
* How Tackful differs from the Catalina
* Principles of anchoring
* Engine operation
* Rigging the Santana (we will raise sails at the dock)
