Members and students learning how to sail on X3 dinghies. The X3 is a slow but very durable dingy we use to teach absolute beginners how to sail without sinking an expensive boat. Made in Australia, these plastic hull boats can take a lickin and keep on tickin!
After some experience, members move onto the Hobie Bravo. With a much larger sail and less hull displacement, these boats can be fast and fun, but the plastic hull helps protect them from the beginner mistakes. Make sure you lean out when the wind blows or you just might go for a swim.
Our members also can take advantage of the cruisers. This one, a Catalina 22, belongs to the club and members who complete training on her can reserve her for private outings or join up with other members for a day of fun sailing.
Here are some members training on a J/24. The J/24 is the most common cruiser in the world. The lesson is taught by one of the best sailors in Busan, Mary Oneil.
Occasionally we take out other boats like this 45 foot catamaran. Very big and lots of fun. We had some nice wind and jumped a few waves. Sailing in style!
And of course it's not just about the sailing.
