The objective of all our courses is to increase your self-confidence as a sailor. With greater self-confidence, you can be more relaxed and have more fun enjoying the feel of the wind and the knowledge that YOU are controlling a vessel moving through the water under sail and without mechanical power. (at least till you need to dock or tie up to a mooring when you may need that mechanical advantage). Just call it magic. Enjoy – go sailing!!   There is no affiliation with US Sailing or American Sailing Association (ASA).
