Rigging

This class will teach you your port from starboard, mainsheet from mainsail, and just about everything else you need to know about our boats. A trained instructor will cover parts of the boat, sailing terminology, dock procedures, and how to set a boat up and how to break it down so that you can be well on your way to sailing on the Charles.. This class is conducted in the classroom, and in our parked boats at the dock, and you’re encouraged to take notes.
