Mountaineers leader and committee chair David Bradley invites you to lean into sailing this spring by signing up for the 2025 Basic Crew and Sailing course! Beginning April 1, the Seattle Mountaineers sailing program is gearing up for another fantastic year of day sails, raft-ups, and racing.
Learn from experienced skippers on how to raise and trim sails, navigate winds via tack and gybe, tie knots, name parts of the boat, and be safe on the water. Offered just once per year, The Basic Crew and Sailing course includes three in-class sessions on Tuesday nights, practical hands-on learning during the class sessions, line to practice knots, one At-The-Dock session, and two training sails occurring April through June.
The course begins Tuesday, April 1 and ends April 22. Note that there is no class on April 15 as students will complete their At-The-Dock session on skipper boats during this week. Completion of the course puts you on the crew list for Mountaineers sails on skipper-owned boats for free! Register today - spots are going fast!
