Small boat sailing
|
Sailing can bring you relaxing days on the water, adventurous family fun or challenging competition. By learning to sail a small boat with a US SAILING-certified instructor, you'll learn the skills you need to build your confidence and ability to sail the boat well and safely. Small boats, for many, are a simple and inexpensive way to get started in sailing. Here the basics of sailing are most easily learned. Some small boats are designed specifically for youth, but most provide a lifetime of enjoyment for adults, too. Because of their size and simplicity, many small sailboats can be sailed single-handed or with a single crewmember. Their performance, depending on their design, may range from 'stable and relaxing' to 'wet and wild'! You may become a certified Small Boat Sailor by completing the requirements in the Small Boat Sailor Certification Record Book, supplied and validated by your US SAILING instructor. |
