one day sails

Sailing skills are perishable skills. Staying involved through a club, co-op or owning a boat will greatly improve your sailing skills over time. If you do not have easy access to a boat, would like more formal training  or want to be ready for your next certification course, one of the following clinics may appeal to you.

Basic Clinics  After the basic sail training, keep sailing:  Skipper check out,  Bowen Island Sail  & COB/Docking practice.
