SEA is pleased to announce a Keelboat Dockside class on May 8th, 9-3. $200.
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.
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)
* Principles of person overboard recovery
* basic radio procedure
* Boat balancing
Instructors will include Jane Piereth, Jose Bethencourt, and Ed Cass.
We have room for 6 students in this class. One space is already taken.. If you have questions regarding membership please visit our membership page or email info@sfsailing.org
