Clubroom Orientation, Rigging Clinics and On-Water Skills Checkouts

Members of the Sailing Fleet are required to take part in these clinics before gaining access to the various fleets. These are not sailing lessons, but an opportunity for members with existing sailing skills to become familiar with club room and the rigging intricacies of the different fleets, as well as to demonstrate their competencies in launching, sailing, and capsize recovery for specific boats. Returning members are also encouraged to attend theses clinics as a refresher. Rigging manuals and sailing guides are available for review. To see them click here.

Successful completion of these clinics is mandatory for EACH level of boat before a member is authorized to sign that boat out. When signing out a boat, the drop down list that appears after you select your name will indicate which level of boat(s) you are currently approved on. If you feel your profile needs to be updated, please notify one of the sailing directors.

You are required to demonstrate your on-water sailing skills for each boat fleet you are checking out.  .

Part 1 and 2: Sailing Orientation and Rigging Clinic

Parts one and two of the clinics will be held consecutively one after another.  After giving a sailing-specific club room orientation, experienced club members will go over the rigging for the checkout session's boat (Quest, Vanguard, Laser, Tasar, Nacra 500, Nacra 570, or F18).
