This is a basic singlehanded sailing class that introduces anyone interested in learning to sail to the concepts of sailing, including:
- Sailing concepts
- Safety
- Boating rules of the road
- Sailing terminology
- Rigging and basic knots
- Capsize recovery

Please bring clothes that you can get wet in to each day of. The small boats that the class are taught in can capsize quite easily on windy days. Capsizing in small boats is a normal occurrence, and as part of the class, we will practice capsize recoveries so that you are familiar with how to recover the boat if you do capsize. A swim test is also part of the class - you will be asked to swim approximately 50 feet while wearing a PFD.

Items to Bring:

Closed-toe footwear you are comfortable wearing in the water. Flip Flops are not a good option!
Personal Flotation Device - LWSC has PFDs that can be used if you don‘t have your own.
Hat with visor
Sunglasses
A CHANGE OF DRY CLOTHES, TOWEL, AND DRY SHOES!
SNACKS AND WATER

Come out to the lake for a free brunch BBQ for members and fun sailing. Please RSVP so that we know how much food to get for the BBQ.
