Our learn to sail book is “Learn Sailing Right” and is available in our Sailstore for purchase at a discounted rate to Members for $10.87 (while supplies last). You can pick up in person at the Club during the sailing season.
Purchase is optional- we have copies in the boathouse that you can read. Please consider donating your copy when you are finished with it so others may borrow. |
