Introduction to Cruising 

Introduction to Cruising Class:  The class is open to any member who has completed a sailing class.  Whether you are just interested in finding out what it's like to sail a larger boat, you are on track to become a skipper, or you are thinking about chartering a sailboat in an exotic locale, this is the class for you (skipper candidates must possess a Sail Chicago Skippercard).
This course is designed to teach the basics of operating a larger sailboat with an inboard motor. In addition to a review of sailing skills, students will be introduced to reefing a larger sail, docking, motoring, anchoring, inboard diesel operation, VHF radio, nautical charts (maps) and crew coordination. 
Currently we have the following sessions confirmed and we are working on opening up a few more.
