SE-7: Staying Safe
Information and Registration
Class Description
This class is the seventh module in the Sailing Essentials series. The series is ideal for those who want to spread out their introduction to sailing, or who have some sailing background and wish to “fill in some gaps”. You can also get all the content of the series in our 3-day-weekend class.
What you will learn in this module:
Of course we all want to have a good time while we are sailing. We also don’t want to get lost at sea, grounded, injured or sink the boat. All of this is preventable with key safety equipment and practices. It’s also important to know what to do if you do get into a bad situation. We cover these critical topics in this class, so you can enjoy sailing, knowing that you are taking care of the “just in case”.
