Introduction to Spinnakers
Subject: Sailing
Pop the chute on your next downwind run! Spinnakers are big, colorful and powerful downwind sails that usually stay in the bag if you've never had first hand experience with them; the extra poles, lines, and know-how it takes to set up a spinnaker can seem like a daunting task if you don't know what you are doing. This class will demystify the spinnaker for both novice sailors and old salts with limited spinnaker experience. Learn how to set it, how to fly it, and how to put it away. Prerequisite: Completion of SailNOW! or equivalent. One day sessions in summer months. Call or register online ****

The Center for Wooden Boats offers an opportunity to experience the dimensions of an earlier time, to put your hands on the oars of a graceful pulling boat or the tiller of a traditional wooden catboat. With help from master craftsmen, you can learn to steambend an oak frame, cast an oarlock, sew a canvas ditty bag, splice a line or caulk a seam. The Center for Wooden Boats is a hands on maritime museum. Its purpose is to preserve our rich, vital and varied small craft heritage by preserving both the artifacts and the time-tested maritime skills. Our aim is to provide an educational adventure, through participation, in our small craft heritage.
