Tue Jan 5th: Introduction to Keelboats - Eric Brown
Whether you're out for a day sail or crossing the ocean, you'll need to understand the various onboard systems. This session provides basic knowledge of the typical coastal cruising sailboat -- structure, rigging, electrical, engine, navigation, etc. Attendees will learn the nautical terms for things (the galley, not the kitchen), feel comfortable finding their way around a boat, and get a sense for life aboard at sea.
