Description

Course begins Monday, June 7th. Experience sailing on the Ottawa River or Lake Erie with one of our veteran instructors. Experience the joy of boating without the roar of a motor. Learn how sailboats harness the wind and what it’s like to glide silently across the water. Whether you want to know what it takes to own your own sailboat, want to learn about cruising, want to dip your toe into the competitive world of sailboat racing, or just want to see how relaxing it can be to spend time on the water, let our group of instructors from the Jolly Roger Sailing Club teach you how to sail. The twelve hour sailing course includes: --- One hour orientation, going over safety procedures, what to wear, and matching you with the right instructor who fits your schedule. (We have boats available from 18 feet to 42 feet in length, and will match you with the right sailboat based on your comfort level and goals for the class. Our larger boats sail out of Curtice, Ohio and La Salle, Michigan.) --- Four hours of classroom instruction (spread out over several Mondays at 7pm). The American Red Cross text “Start Sailing Right!” is on loan to you for study during your time in the course. --- Six hours of on-the-water, hands on, instruction. (Your six hours of instruction can be taken in two 3-hour outings, or three 2-hour outings; weekdays, weeknights, or weekends. We are flexible and can match you with the instructor that fits your schedule.) --- One hour graduation reception that reviews the lessons you’ve learned, explains how easy (and relatively inexpensive) it is to own a sailboat, and tells you what your next steps are along the road to becoming a sailor. Courses begin Monday, June 7th. Space is limited. Reservations and pre-payment are required. Please visit www.jollyrogersailingclub.com to register.
