Adult explore Sailing Beginner two

A Beginner Program for Adults!

The Foundry’s Adult Explore Sailing Beginner Two course is for adults interested in improving their fundamental skills and adding to the knowledge gained in the Adult Explore Sailing Beginner One course. This is a "hands on" series of classes with instruction on land and on water by US Sailing certified coaches. Participants will gain additional experience with tiller steering, sail trim, beating, and more. Instruction will dive deeper into the points of sail and how the headsail and mainsail work in tandem to improve boat speed of one of our 33-foot sailboats. Prior sailing experience recommended.
