Sail is a complete sail course created to serve the needs of the novice and experienced sailor, as well as the non-sailor, for basic skills and knowledge. The course starts with basic sailboat designs and nomenclature, rigging, safety and sail processes. It continues with the physical aspects of sailing forces and techniques, sail applications, marlinespike, helmsmanship and handling of more difficult sailing conditions.  Navigation rules and an introduction to heavy weather sailing are also discussed.  Appendices in the manual provide an introduction to sailboat racing and sailing in Canadian waters.

Course completion is documented by a closed book exam to be scheduled by the St Paul Squadron Education Officer.
