Sailing 101: Pre-Course Theory Briefing

Welcome future sailor! 

Before you feel the spray on your face and the wind in your sails, it's essential to grasp the fundamentals. This brief outline is designed to be completed in a few hours. Go through the modules in order, watch the videos, and review the documents. When you step onto the boat for your practical course, you'll already be speaking the language.

The goal here is to familiarize you with the core concepts and language of sailing. Understanding this foundation will make your time on the water much more intuitive, productive, and enjoyable.

Let's get you ready to cast off!
