GMSC offers a weekend adult sailing class each year, usually in early June.  It’s a beginning sailing class that includes both classroom and on-the-water instruction.  The class is taught on keelboats.  

The curriculum includes:

• Safety
• Sailing Terminology
• Parts of the Boat 
• Points of Sail 
• Trimming Sails
• Steering the Boat 
• Weather Observations 
• Crew Overboard Recovery 
• Knot Tying 
• Docking 
• Rigging and Stowing

The goal of GMSC’s Adult Learn to Sail class is to teach performance sailing techniques that will provide students the knowledge and confidence they need to crew on others’ sailboats and work towards skippering their own.

We hope students will choose to participate in the GMSC Centerboard and/or Keelboat Racing program.
