Sailing 101
Sailing 101 is a multi-day, hands-on course spread designed to teach the fundamentals of small-boat sailing in a supportive, safety-focused environment. Led by Humboldt Bay Aquatic Center's sailing instructors, this course provides the skills and confidence needed to sail a dinghy independently on Humboldt Bay.
Participants will learn essential sailing terminology, how to rig and de-rig a Laser sailboat, launch and recover safely, and handle a sailboat under a variety of mild conditions. Instruction is primarily on the water, with guided practice in steering, tacking, jibing, stopping and starting, docking, capsize recovery, and basic navigation around other vessels and docks. Boating safety—including life-jacket use, communication, right-of-way rules, and risk awareness—is integrated throughout the course.
Sailing 101 is ideal for beginners with little or no prior sailing experience, as well as those looking to build a strong foundation before sailing recreationally or advancing to higher-level…
