Hello Future Sailors!
We are scheduling the next sail instruction class. Successful completion of the class qualifies you with Keelboat Skipper C qualification. This lets you rent the Navy Santana 22 ft boat or the 23 ft Pearson Electra in Monterey, whenever you want.
We use the book, Start Sailing Right, which you can purchase at: http://www.amazon.com/Start-Sailing-Right-National-Instruction/dp/1882502485. Please try to read the first 10 chapters of the book before the first class. That's 60 pages, big print, and lots of pictures.
Please learn to tie the following knots: bowline, square knot, cleat hitch, and rolling hitch. www.animatedknots.com is a great resource. Practice with your shoe laces in case you do not have any string or ropes at home.
COSTS:
1. You join the Sailing Club. Membership is obtained automatically through membership in the NPS Foundation. Visit https://www.npsfoundation.org/page.aspx?pid=291 to become a member. Students are free. Faculty and community members pay a fee (tax deductible), but this also gets you membership in the foundation and access to all they do. Create a log in to manage your club memberships.
2. The cost for the class is $250. Payment can be made via PayPal (send to [email protected] ) or by cash or check payable to NPSSA.
3. Please note there will be no refund in case you are not able to finish the class.
Schedule:
We will have a Saturday cohort and a Sunday cohort. Please let me know if you can do either with your preference, or if you can only do one, then which one. If you cannot make one week, we will try to work with you to reschedule, or swap with another student for the other day.
Both Sat and Sun cohorts:
8 July (Thursday) 1700 – 1830 Classroom training
15 July (Thursday) 1700 – 1830 Classroom training
Saturday cohort (4 spots) 1000-1500
