MIT OFFSHORE SAILING SHORE SCHOOL
Scott Dynes, Bluewater Sailing Skipper, Matthew Lindblad, Assistant Professor/coach
Enrollment: Limited: First come, first served (no advance sign-up)
Attendance: It is preferred that participants come to most or all sessions
Prereq: None
You know that MIT has a fabulous river sailing program, but did you also know that MIT also has an offshore sailing program, where you can sail MIT's 43-foot boat, X-Dimension, in Boston Harbor, to P-town, along the Maine coast, and even to Halifax, Nova Scotia?
The purpose of this IAP course is to show you that sailing a 43-foot boat differs from dinghy sailing only in degree: the boat and sails are bigger and you can make extended multi-day voyages. We are offering 8 sessions that will cover the fundamental and practical aspects of large boat sailing, with the goal of making everyone feel equipped with the knowledge to feel comfortable sailing along the coast. The classes will cover keelboats, weather, navigation (including celestial navigation), safety at sea, racing, and chartering a boat in the Caribbean.
No prior knowledge of keelboats or sailing is required (though the latter is very helpful); just an interest in learning about sailing in the salt water.
Times: Tues/Thurs 6:30-8:30, January 5th- January 28th.
No PE Points are awarded for this class.
