If you live...
or vacation anywhere near the ocean, a river, or a lake, then sailing is for you. Whether you're a casual sunny afternoon sailor or part of the highly competitive racing circuit, sailing offers fun and relaxation and can be enjoyed by everyone.
This summer, Shelburne Sailing School Association offers a series of one-week courses by Canadian Yachting Association certified and insured instructors. The courses provide an introduction to sailing theory, safety, and boat handling. The Shelburne Sailing School Association provides eight, 9-foot sailing dinghies (Escape Rumbas), a safety boat, on-the-water instruction, and learn-to-sail manuals, which outline sailing theory.
Each student receives 30 hours of instruction (approximately 15 hours on-the-water and 15 hours on-land instruction) with boats and equipment, the learn-to-sail manual, a test at weeks end, and a certificate on successful completion of each course.
Basic Safety Procedures will be emphasized including the method for righting an overturned dinghy, rules of the road, and dangerous weather signs. On the water, you'll learn how to adjust sails, make your boat go in the desired direction, and how to moor and dock a boat.
If you are between 10 and 19 years of age, and able to satisfy the swimming requirements, with and without a life jacket, then give yourself
(or a group of your friends) a chance to experience this enjoyable sport of sailing, here on Shelburne Harbour, one of the best natural facilities in the world.
The cost is only $75.00 per person. Evening classes are also
available for adults.
It'll be the most fun you've had in a long time; GUARANTEED!!! |
