Title: Free Sailing Seminar?
Post by: Str8FishiN on August 23, 2017, 11:20:47 AM
Anyone interested in a free sailing seminar?  I have a friend that's a certified sailing instructor in Santa Cruz and wants to help out because his experiences hanging with my NCKA friends have always been awesome.  He sees guys in Adventure and Tandem Islands out OTW all the time and thinks we all need some serious sailing lessons  :smt044.  This seminar will probably take place in Santa Cruz and the date is still TBD.  Raise your hand if you'd be interested in attending, and feel free to shoot out dates and times.

Thanks, J!  That would be sweet!  I'd be down for any weekend day, with some prior notice.  I can finally dust off all my AI gear.

I would love to do this if there would be kayak or small boat rentals available.

Been years since I sailed, would love to get back into it, just lack anything with a sail.

I'm interested.  I would also like to learn to sail a real sailboat.  I grew up sailing the small sunfish sailboats so the AI is not a problem for me.

I like the sound of a free sailing lesson.  Please let me know when and where.  Is there anything that NCKA members can contribute?  Id love to be of some help to your friend for his generosity.

Yes I have a revo with a sail and bought a furling kit and need help installing it. I even bought spring creek floats and don't know squat about sailing.
I just retired so can go almost any day, any time.
Live near princeton and want to practice there.
Thanks

I would need a sail kit.  Are you looking to sell or barrow for the lesson?
