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.
