Bay Sailors  A Tampa Bay Sailing Club for Singles

Education


Educaton chair is Patti Lanphear

Bay Sailors has an extensive education program. We strongly encourage members to learn to sail. The assigned crew for each sail includes at least one "experienced" member to act as first mate to the skipper, and thus experienced members may receive preference in assignments.

Members receive a CD version of our education program and may bring check-off sheets with them on sails. Skippers test the members and check off the items on the check off lists.

Education progams are presented at each monthly geneal meeting. Skippers also teach during sails.

Stay tuned for more online sailing tips. Our LINKS web page has some fun activities too.
