Learn to Sail: Dinghy Classes
4 weeks, 2 hours per class
$350/pp
Fundamentals of sailing on a 420. Choosing the 420 pathway provides sailors with the essential skills they will need whatever their next step in sailing. It is the perfect boat to develop skills in strategy, tactics, boat handling, tuning and technique. While 420s do capsize, you'll learn how to properly right it, so there is more athletics and swimming involved than a keelboat class! Since these boats hold two people at a time this class is more technical and a little less social than learning on a J24. If you are hoping to join in regattas and learn to sail well and fast - this is a great class for you! We follow US Sailing curriculum and our instructors are nationally certified. Minimum of 3 participants per class.
