A great way to learn the basic skill of sailing. Dinghies are small boats usually crewed by one or two people. You'll learn the basic theory as well as getting some on the water practice. The dinghy lessons are done in two levels with each level broken down into 2 days. At the end you will be certified by BESA and ISS (International Sailing Schools - via - The Busan Sailing Federation). ** As of August 2011, our dinghy lessons will follow a new format. Basic Dinghy Course Description
Basic Dinghy - Day 1 (9:00 - 12:30) - We start off by learning the theory behind sailing and become familiar with the different parts of the boats. Then we'll watch a short video reviewing and demonstrating what you've learned up to that point. Next, you'll get your hands on a real boat. You'll be taught how to properly rig the boat. Once the boat is rigged, we'll practice some maneuvers on land. Next we'll take the boats to the ramp and an instructor will demonstrate how to launch and land the boat. The instructor will also demonstrate some basic maneuvers as well as what to do in case of a capsize. Then you'll practice launching and landing. Once you got a hang of it, you'll start practicing on a reaching course inside the safety of the marina. Finally, we'll show you how to break down the boats and have a wrap-up session in the classroom. Basic Dinghy - Day 2 (9:00 - 12:30) - We'll start off by rigging the boats. Then we'll get you back into the water practicing the reaching course first, and move onto a beating course. While the reaching course requires only tacking, the beating course will require you the jibe as well. After we finish, you will get a certificate showing that you have finished your basic sailing course.
Dinghy Master Course Description Dinghy Master - Day 1 (9:00 - 12:30) - We'll start off by reviewing what we learned in the Basic Course. We'll learn more about how to fine tune the boat to get optional speed. Then we'll move to the boats and have you rig them. We'll quickly practice a beating course inside the marina and finally head out of the marina, and practice some maneuvers such as stop and go and getting as close to the wind as possible. We'll play some follow the leader and maybe even have a race or two. On the way back, if the weather is warm enough, we'll practice capsizing if you haven't already done so. Dinghy Master - Day 2 Morning Session (9:00 - 12:30) - We'll launch off and head out of the marina. If the weather is good, we'll head to a beach and show you how to land on the beach. We'll leave the beach and let you have the rest of the day to play around and explore a bit before heading back in. After you are finished, you'll get a certificate showing you have finished you Dinghy Master training. You will also be allowed to rent club boats.

3. Once we have confirmed your date, you should send payment for the lessons in advance. This is the ONLY way to confirm your lessons. It is possible to pay on the day of the lesson, but since our experience is that no matter how much people cross their hearts and promise on their mother's grave, you are more likely to be a no-show, we will try to hold it for you but there are no guarantees.

What to Bring
If you are doing dinghies, remember, this is a "get wet" water sport so be prepared. Everyone will at least get wet upto the waist, and some of you will get wet from head to toe if you capsize. So make sure you bring: - Change of clothes - Towel - Shoes you can get wet, flip-flops are not recommended - Sunblock, sunglasses and hat - Waterproof windbreaker, smock or wetsuit* (optional for cold weather) - Gloves that you can get wet. The cheep construction ones with the sticky palms work really great! - Knee pads if you have them. For keelboat lessons, just dress appropriately for the weather. Keep in mind that you might get some sea spray on you if the conditions are choppy. |
