Adult Sailing

Four 3-hour sessions
American 14.6

Sessions take place on evenings during the week (6-9pm). You can sign up for an evening that works for your schedule for four consecutive weeks. We will place students in groups of 3 with an instructor in each boat.
Sign up at www.swampscottrec.com

Topics to be covered include:

  • Parts of the boat and Rigging the boat
  • Tacking and jibing
  • Helmsmanship
  • Points of sail
  • Sail handling, Knot tying
  • Boat ownership

There is an optional textbook "Sailing the Basics" by Dave Franzel available at Borders Express.

Wear boat shoes or sneakers, clothes appropriate for the weather, and bring a windbreaker. Please be prompt so we can get out on the water!

Private Lessons
Katie Booras may offer private lessons to both adults and children this summer, either on one of the SSP boats or on your own boat. Private lessons provide a great opportunity for students to enhance their skills in a more personal and attentive setting. She plans to charge $60 for a 90 minute lesson.
