After School Sailing - Session 2

About This Event

Each class will start with a short dockside chalk talk to teach new skills and review the plan for the day followed by hands-on learning with students working in small teams to rig and sail our 14’ Quest dinghies. While exploring Newport Harbor students will learn to steer the boat, trim the sails, learn about wind and weather, right-of-way rules, seamanship, and safety.
