Intro to the Firefly: Rig and Sail

  • Sun 2012-Aug-12 @ 15:30-18:00
  •  

    Firefly Sailing on the Charles

    NOTE: Class is limited to 20 people, and pre-registration is mandatory.

              You must be a MITNA member with a Provisional Rating (we will check)!

              Dress for the likely possibility you may go swimming.


    The class will be about 2+ hours long, and will cover
      rigging and basic Firefly sailing, tacks and gybes,
      proper sail trim and balance,
      and maybe some capsize practice.

    We will pair people up - each pair will rig and sail a Firefly.



    You should watch the rigging videos online as preparation:
