For weekday, day schedules, the course takes place over five consecutive days, Monday - Friday. For weekday, evening schedules the first week's sessions are Monday, Wednesday and Friday and Monday and Wednesday of the next week.
Basic Sailing 101 is the perfect course for those with no prior experience or for those looking to formalize prior sailing experiences.
With over 20 years of experience, we are convinced that the most effective learning is kinetic. So, at Chicago Sailing, your introduction to the world of sails, boats, wind, and water takes place entirely on the boats and on the water.
As a US SAILING certified facility we teach to the professional standards of their graduated learning system. You can rest assured that there are no higher credentials for sailing instruction.
Your Instruction begins with a solid foundation in sailing terminology, sailboat rigging, boating safety and rope work. Under the guidance of your professional instructor you will quickly and seamlessly integrate these skills with the principals of sailing. In a few short days you will have the skills to command a J/22 keelboat on your own, for your personal use.
Our instructional vessels: Unquestionably, the fastest and most effective way to learn sailing is aboard a fast, responsive and safe sailboat. Because the J/22 exceeds these criteria in every way, it is the world's most popular adult training vessel and Chicago Sailing's obvious choice. All our vessels are equipped with auxililary motors.
Our instructional course book: US SAILING's Basic Keelboat is included in your course cost. Please visit the Chicago Sailing office in Belmont Harbor to pick up this book prior to starting your sailing lessons.
