Sailing Program

Be the "Skipper" at the Del..
The Delawana Instructional Sailing Program provides participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to confidently sail safely. Participants are taught to independently sail a boat and receive an award certifying them as "SKIPPER AT THE DEL." Lessons focus on safety and skill development within a fun instructional environment.

DAY 1
Participants will sail with an instructor in groups no larger than four. During the voyage the instructor will get the participants excited about sailing, and introduce them to the basic skills and theory involved in safe sailing. Basic wind principles, terms such as jibbing, tacking, hiking and operating parts such as tiller, mainsail and centerboard will be discussed.

DAY 2
Participants will take part in a thorough instructional session and at the completion will have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to safely skipper a boat independently. Tipping, man overboard, buoys and markers, and safe docking will be featured. At the end of the day you will be certified "SKIPPER AT THE DEL".

DAY 3
Certified Skippers will have the option of sailing independently or may continue their instruction learning advanced boat handling, sailing theory, and safety skills and methods. Areas covered include rigging and derigging, knots, and racing.

Cost $75.00 per person for all guests staying at the Delawana. Applicable taxes and service charge extra.
