Mariners who have completed the prerequisites and
service hours may register to learn how to crew one of our small
camp sloops. We have two 420's. This course will teach the
basics of rigging and derigging the sloops, how to properly use
a jib sail, the use of various lines on the boat, proper
maintenance and care of the sloops and the crew
responsibilities.
Are you a currently
enrolled Mariner ready to advance your sail rating? This class
goes into more depth about Sunfish sailing techniques and
includes the basics of racing and how to rig for
performance.
