Learn to sail inside Lake Erie's breakwall and along the Cleveland's North Coast Harbor aboard a Tartan Ten keelboat. This program is for individuals (18 years and older) who are interested in learning the basic knowledge and skills of sailing or those looking to improve their fundamental skills. No prior experience is needed. This is a "hands on" program with lessons being taught both on land and on water by certified coaches. You will learn all the essentials including nomenclature, safety, knots, rigging, steering, how sails work, rules of the water and much more!
