Ever wanted to learn to sail?

As the Wooden Boat School attests, the program “will get you onto the water quickly, safely, and fully prepared. Under the calm and knowing guidance of seasoned instructors, you’ll learn the essentials—ailing dynamics, boat rigging and spars, and safety precautions—followed by practical lessons on sailing techniques. Daily hands-on exercises and drills will take students through getting underway, maneuvering through the points of sail, keeping a course, tacking, returning to a mooring and dock, and much, much more.”

Students will emerge with a new set of skills–tested on the salt waters–as well as a rich understanding of the history and culture of New England.  The experience will make for a summer you are not likely to forget.

Dates: August 11-August 19, 2018

The course will begin on the Thomas More College Campus in Merrimack, NH, but the majority of the program will be held in Brooklin, ME.

Cost: $1,489 for room, tuition, travel, and meals
