is designed to help young children feel at ease on the water and be comfortable in
boats. The emphasis is on the sights, sounds, and feel of sailing. Since the objective
of the course is to get the students to feel comfortable sailing, the class will not sail
on days with threatening weather, such as rain or high winds. Instead, the class will
partake in land activities to further their nautical knowledge.
