Saturday and Sunday, August 4 & 5 a class will be held from 12 to 6 pm.
The water at the lake is warm this time of year so no one will need a wet suit. Yes, some boats do get knocked down, but once one knows how to react it really is not a problem. If we are both good and lucky, no one will go unintended into the drink.
Topics:
Where the gear is stored.
Hardware, its uses and adjustments.
How a boat gets energy from the wind.
How to trim a sail, both in light and heavy air Right of Way rules.
How to upright a boat. Everyone will knock down a boat and then upright it.
How to depart and return from the dock.
How to launch a boat using the winch.
How to rig up a boat.
Lots of "on the water" practice.
The goal is allow all new club members to acquire the skills to come to the lake, launch a boat and enjoy sailing.
This is a basic beginners class, and will be a lot of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We will launch all three skipjacks, the lasor and my buck, so all will have time to sail.
Lets hope for sun.
Dave
