Basic Keelboat Course

Is one of the most popular courses for beginner sailors to not only learn the basics but have the confidence and skills to skipper a sailboat up to 26′. We offer our courses regularly and keep the ratio of certified instructors to students at 1:4 so everyone learns and has plenty of time to practice. Approximately 16 hours with the instructor will be shared through classroom sessions, docking in the marina, and sailing through Banks Channel and Masonboro Inlet into the Ocean.
