__174__.jpg "IMG_7607") Dinghy Lessons
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, Basic Dinghy and Dinghy Master. At the end you will be certified by BESA and ISS (International Sailing Schools - via - The Busan Sailing Federation). Basic Dinghy Course Description Class size: 6 2 students per boat Format: 2 half day or 1 full day lesson Cost: 60,000 Won
Basic Dinghy - We start off by learning the theory behind sailing and become familiar with the different parts of the boats. 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. Then move onto a beating course. While the reaching course requires only tacking, the beating course will require you the jibe as well. Finally, we'll show you how to break down the boats and have a wrap-up session in the classroom. After we finish, you will get a certificate showing that you have finished your basic sailing course.
Dinghy Master Course Description Class size: 3 1 student per boat Format: 2 half day or 1 full day lesson Cost: 90,000 Won Dinghy Master - 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. If the weather is good and we have enough wind, we'll head to a beach and show you how to land on the beach. There we'll take a lunch break. We recommend you pack a lunch, we will provide dry bags to keep you goodies dry. 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. If the weather does not permit us to land safely on the beach or there isn't enough wind, then we'll head back into the marina for a lunch break. At the end of the day, you'll get a certificate showing you have finished you Dinghy Master training. You will also be allowed to rent club boats.

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. You can usually get wet shoes at E-mart or Homeplus for super cheap. - 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. - Lunch
