Refresher Sailing 121

Prerequisite Basic Sailing 101 or equivalent

Course Description

This course is intended for those sailors who want to polish their existing, but unpracticed sailing skills. It is also the ideal way for dinghy sailors to acquire keelboat credentials. While not a substitute for Basic Sailing 101, the 8-hour Refresher Course delivers the same results to those with workable sailing skills.

Perhaps the most profound benefit will be to one’s personal confidence. Successful Graduates will know that their proficiency is affirmed to US SAILING’s exacting standards.
