Keelboat Level 1 Dockside

If you are registered, just show up at the scheduled time – with pfd in hand.  We will meet you at the J-dock entrance ramp and take you through the key steps for getting a Club keelboat ready to sail.

We won’t be on the water just yet – it’s important to know how to get a keelboat ready, just as with a dinghy. But we will walk you through most of the following:

·                What to tell the crew to keep them safe

·                Boat inspection

·                How to check safety gear

·                How to go over rigging and choose sails for the wind conditions

·                How to reef at dock

·                Motor basics

·                How to derig and put a keelboat away
