Basic Sailing Class

This course is designed for those with little or no sailing experience. It can also serve as a refresher course for those who have not recently sailed. The 14 hour course covers boating safety, knots, rigging and sailing theory. On the water skills such as boat handling, docking, sail trim and capsize recovery will be taught on Holder 14 sailboats. Upon successful completion of this course graduates will be given a free two hour rental card and are eligible to rent Holder 14's and join the Sacramento State Aquatic Center Sailing Club. This class follows the guidelines set by US Sailing.

We strongly recommend picking up the textbook prior to the first day of class for review.
