This
is a hands-on course teaching the fine art of classical (i.e., pre-GPS)
navigation, which is still very important for many reasons (GPS fails,
batteries die, etc.). These time-honored techniques include plotting a
course, dead-reckoning, taking a position fix and adjusting the course.
All navigation will be done aboard the boat using the tools on the boat. |

water depth, tidal changes, potential wind changes, and nearby boats
and other obstacles. Then we'll practice dropping and setting the
anchor, followed by how to pick it up ("weigh anchor"). With no more
than 3 students, everyone will get a chance to work the foredeck and to
be at the helm during these procedures. |

Practicing
knots at home or in a classroom is a vital part of learning to be a
competent sailor. We'll take that practice to the next level and show
real life situations on a boat when you would need to use these knots.
So even if you've practiced at home, this class will make the theory
come alive! |
