The course is designed to help crew-level sailors gain confidence and practice the skills needed to competently skipper a small keelboat in moderate conditions. This Intermediate Sailing course consists four Mondays from 5:30 PM until sundown.  This course is intended to be taught to those who have taken our Introduction to Sailing Course. An experienced instructor and up to four students (usually only three students) are on the water in a Sonar or J/22. Sonars and J/22's are keelboats which are safe (non-capsizable), comfortable and fun.
