Program Level 2
Mastering Daysailing
|
Midwest Sailings level 2 course introduces one of the
most popular forms of sailing: Daysailing.
Level 2, taught in the Flying Scot, is a roomy, stable, forgiving boat
that is both family and student friendly making it ideal for teaching
in the "Hands-on" approach to learning.
|
|
|
|
The course builds on the skills & equipment learned
in the level one by introducing additional rigging (outhaul/vang), equipment
(centerboard/keel), and a sail (jib), staples in daysailer designs.
|
|
Students are challenged with the increased maneuverability
of the monohull design relative to the catamaran, particularly in fresher
breezes.
|
|
|
|
Upon completion of
your sailing lessons, Four hours of practice are also included
in the package, allowing time to refine skills and prepare for the next
level in the development program:
