Dingy Lessons

A dingy is a small sailboat normally crewed by one or two people.  Currently we are using the X3 and the Hobbie Bravos.  You will learn all the basic skills it takes to sail a boat by yourself in the two day beginner course.

We start off with classroom instruction going over the principles of sailing as well as learning the parts of the boats and sailing terminology.  After a lunch break we head outside to set up the boats and start sailing.

Classes are held on the weekends from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm.  There is an hour and a half lunch break around 12:30 pm.  

Beginner course:  80,000 won

Intermediate and Advance:  100,000 won

Cruiser

In this class you will learn how to opporate the larger boats with both a Mainsail (back sail) and a Jib or Genoa (front sail).  While the boat has some gear that is different from the smaller dingies, many of the principles are the same.

We will start out with about an hour of classroom instruction.  Then we head onto the boat where we will learn everything from launching the boats, raising sails, trimming (adjusting sails), driving the boat and bringing the boat back into the marina.

You will learn on a J/24, the most common boat and a popular racing class, or a Catalina 22.  The classes can be done in two half days or one full day.  Private or private group instruction is also available.

All courses:  100,000 won (per person) Max. 4 students.

Private or Group:  300,000 won Max. 4 students.
