Traditional Rig & Centerboard Sailing Clinic

 

Become comfortable rigging and have fun sailing traditional rig and centerboard boats in our fleet – like the Beetlecat, Pelican, Sprit Boat, Monk, and Lightening. You’ll learn a bit about their history, tips for sailing these boats most effectively, and spend most of your time out on the water sailing. Clinic participants will have an opportunity to sail two types of vessels including sprit, lug, gaff, yawl, and sloop rigs with the support and guidance from experienced CWB instructors.

Prerequisite: Current CWB sailing checkout and livery card.

Course Information: We'll start this specialized sailing clinic with a chalk talk in our outdoor classroom or gallery. We'll review sailing theory and mechanics specifically related to these boats. We'll then move to the docks and start rigging multiple boats in teams in preparation for sailing away and practicing what we've learned with the coaching of instructors on the dock and in a chase boat. Clinic participants will have an opportunity to sail two types of vessels including sprit, lug, gaff, yawl, and sloop rigs with the support and guidance from experienced CWB instructors.
