one day sails

Sailing skills need to be maintained by regular use. Staying involved through a club, co-op or boat ownership will greatly improve your boat handling 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.
