Description:

The Adult Dinghy-level I course is designed to teach small boat handling to new beginner sailors on the RS Venture. Our four-to-one student-to-instructor ratio provides you with ample time on the helm with our certified instructor on the boat. This progression course teaches water safety, terminology, knots, rigging, sail adjustment, docking, steering a course, person-in-the-water drills, rules of the road, and capsize/recovery drills.

This is a 4-day course held over two weekends from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and includes a 30-minute break for lunch. This is a physically demanding course for beginner sailors. Participants must wear a wetsuit, life jacket, and close-toed shoes during sailing (TISC will provide all necessary gear; please get in touch with TISC for recommendations on purchasing your gear).

Skills will be self-assessed and then signed off by our Certified Sailing Instructor. You will receive the US Sailing Small Boat Sailor Certification Record Book, “The Little Red Book,” to keep track of student progress.
