Learn to Sail

Sailing Lessons are a great way to get started
or to improve your boat handling skills.
This is a fantastic family sport that you can participate in your whole life.

Sail Away Sailing School offers a 12-hour learn-to-sail course that will give you the skills and confidence to start sailing right! Aboard a Capri 22, you'll learn how to get underway, tack, jibe, perform a crew-overboard recovery. You will also learn outboard motor operation, points of sail, knots, and how to reef your sail. Successful completion of the course earns you Basic Keelboat certification. Private lessons also available. For more information, please contact Captain Joan Gilmore at (612) 871-8101 or Will Winter at (612) 827-1549.
