Sailing Education
Tips for Newbies


Conveying knowledge about sailing is a major focus of the club. It is strongly promoted through club sails, the monthly general meeting and at specially designated instructional gatherings known as "Sailing Orientation Sessions" or SOS. The club's captains and experienced members are the primary teachers but the Vice Commodore also schedules programs and events featuring outside experts.

Subjects taught at the SOS include sessions such as:

Sailing Theory
Sailboat Terminology
Safety at Sea
Lines and Knots
Boat Etiquette
Dinghy Handling





During the year the club may hold educational SOS gatherings in the Spring, Summer and Fall.
The location for these event may vary, so watch the "Events and Photos" page for
schedules and details.

Captain's and crew should contact the Vice Commodore to sign up for these events.
