Before you pick a date
What if weather changes the lesson?
If we cancel an on-water lesson because of conditions, we offer a new date or a refund for the canceled lesson. We confirm the meeting time and any schedule change before you travel. Classroom courses meet indoors.
Do I need a winter course first?
No. The on-water beginner course starts from the beginning. A winter classroom course is a way to learn the terms and practice with charts before the sailing season.
Choose the next thing to learn.
We check course space and confirm the details before a place is reserved.
