Our Tackers 2 course requires the completion of the Tackers 1 course prior to enrollment. All equipment is included for sailing, including a Personal Flotation Device (lifejacket) for each sailor.

The Tackers 2 course will teach the basics of sailing, including all techniques required to set up the boat, leave and return to the beach, sail around a course or to a destination, and safety on the water. The courses also cover the basic rules of sailing, weather, and knot tying. All content is delivered in the most practical way possible – on the water!
