Fall ’23 Registration Is Closed
The Beginning Sailing course is a good way to determine if you like sailing and wish to continue learning how to sail. Students with no sailing experience who wish to have an introduction to sailing, or those with limited experience can take this course as a refresher rather than starting with ASA 101, which is also offered by CRSA. The course consists of two evenings of casual class work in Lexington and one weekend day on the water at Cave Run Lake with instructor guidance.
Some topics covered include:
- Types of sailboats
- Boat parts and rigging
- Trailering a sailboat
- Knots you will use
- Sails and what they do
- Leaving & returning to the dock
- Sailing terminology
- Steering
- Sailing safety
