  LEARN TO SAIL

Have you just gone out and on a whim bought a new or used sailboat because it looked to be fun and enticing?  Have you just realized you know nothing about sailing?  Main Sail Charters and Research LLC (MSC&R) Instructors will work with you to arrange and provide you with instruction on your newly purchased sailboat.

MSC&R Instructors provide the ability and will work with you to help you to gain confidence and knowledge of your boat, how it sails and how it feels underway.  MSC&R can provide you with instruction using our sailing instruction package, or working with you, we will develop a course of sailing instruction that is best suited for your particular need.

Basic topics in either type of instruction will include: crew work and communications among the crew, basic sailing terminology that is used on the boat, as well some non-sailing terms which can substitute for that new language you are trying to acquire.  Instruction will also include review of the Rules of the Road and general Boating Safety.
