Description

NOTE: Class is limited to 6 people, and pre-registration is mandatory (click on Registration tab above).

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

          Dress for the likely possibility you will go swimming.

The class will be about 2+ hours long, and will cover:

  Rigging, unrigging, care of the boat, and basic Firefly sailing

  Skippering with a crew, crewing for a skipper

  Proper sail trim and balance

  Tacks and gybes

  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:
