What To Expect
You'll start by learning how to read the wind and understand basic sailing terms. Then, under the captain’s guidance, you'll jump into real sailing tasks. Practice handling ropes, hoisting and setting the sails, and trimming them for speed and balance. You’ll gain a feel for the boat’s responsiveness and how teamwork and timing matter when adjusting the sails or tacking into the wind. It’s not just about watching — you’ll get to be part of the crew.
Feel the rush as the wind fills the sails and the boat heels gently into the breeze, slicing cleanly through the open sea. Learn how to work the winches, tie essential sailing knots, and understand how halyards, sheets, and other lines control the sails and steering.
