Chesapeake Experience is now hosting a program for sailors to learn about sailing a keelboat, on our new J30. 

​

Each sailor will gain familiarity with the boat and learn each position. They will learn a variety of skills which include the following: 

​

• Organization and Communication in a larger team

• Using a compass and data collection 

• Measurement and tuning of the masts and sails

• Understanding weather and sail selection

• General boat handling and operation under sail and power (They will all learn how to back a big boat into a slip!)

​

Due to COVID-19 this program will be very limited in having a maximum of 5 students on Saturdays and 5 on Sundays. Unfortunately students won’t be allowed to switch days once we start. 

​

Please reach out to for any questions.

Schedule:

​

There will be two groups, one on Satuday and one on Sunday. We will sail out of Maryland Marina in Bowleys Quarters from 10-3 on the day you register for.

Saturdays - December 19, 26 and January 2, 9
