SCHEDULE OF LEARN-TO-SAIL SMALL BOATS ("DINGHYS") CLASSES
AT CAMANO SAIL AND POWER
Please see the above link for complete details on pricing, groups, and discounts etc.
The course includes land drills, knots,
sailing terminology, on-the-water sailing drills, and discussion and
practice of the skills contained in the US SAILING text Learn Sailing
Right.
The skipper candidate will be evaluated throughout the
course on their ability to successfully perform the required
skills. A written test will be given at the end of the course for
which an 80% grade is required to pass. Upon
successful completion of the class, the sailor will receive a United
States
Sailing Association course completion card.
This card will be evidence that the sailor is a competent Skipper in
the
dinghy that they used and in the wind and sea states that existed
during the
course. This card will enable the
sailor/Skipper to rent the type of dinghy that they learned in during
the scheduled Open Sailing sessions. If the boat is capable of
supporting two
sailors, the Skipper may take another person with them during Open
Sailing. The other person need not be a
sailor but, they will need to have a swim test on file and to have the
same
cold-water protection as the skipper.SMALL BOAT COURSE SCHEDULES
We are just now gearing up for the 2010 season. In the early
Spring, classes are small and we can be very flexible on scheduling and
class size. Please contact us at camanosail@ camano .net
or phone us at 425-314-9824. This early in the season we
can in all likelihood design a class around your schedule.
Want a course? Know the
dates you have available? Give us a shout. We can do it in
all likelihood.
We prefer to have class sessions of no less than four hours nor
longer than about 6 hours in length, but this is not cast in steel.
Classes require a total of 18 hours to graduate. Back to the Table of Contents for this Camano Sail and Power Website
