Basic Crewing/Sailing Course - Tacoma, Dock Side Training Session - Folie á Deux, Swantown Marina

We're local racers so weather isn't a factor for us but it's your first sail and we want you to have a great time and learn. With that said, please call us 1 hour prior to the trip to confirm we are heading out. We will only cancel the trip if the winds look a little too frisky for your first sail. We pride ourselves on safety!

Let's plan to be on  the dock, with the class beginning, at 11:00am. 

1. Joy's cell: 253-820-2394 (call when arriving)
2. Jeff's cell: 253-405-4726
3. Swantown Marina, slip H46 
4. Call me when you arrive and I'll walk up and give you a parking slip for your car.
5. Our boat does have a bathroom:)
6. Be sure to check the list for recommended items to bring aboard, especially gloves and PFD. If you don't have a PFD, we have some.
7. We plan for the total time together to be around 3 hours. It could be more if the weather is lovely and everyone wants to stay out longer. *Let us know before departing what your time constraints are*

This is the first of four sails included in the Tacoma Branch's Basic Crewing/Sailing Course.  Students of the course should only sign up for one Training Sail #1 activity.

An outline of topics that will be covered during this training sail is under the "Required Equipment" tab below.  Please review the related material in your course text book before the sail and make sure you ask any questions necessary for you to understand the concept being covered.

Sail activities will take place rain or shine.  The activity may, however, be canceled due to high wind.  Call your skipper 1 hour before the start of the activity to make sure it is still a go.  Please show up on time.
