Crew School

SEAS

This spring, SEAS will be working with some of Sheboygan’s most experienced skippers to put on a Crew School for people looking to gain more basic sailing knowledge in order to be a valuable crew member. Over the course of five weeks, a variety of skippers will teach classes and workshops on topics like sail trim, basic sailing terminology, safety, sail care and how to work effectively as a team on the race course. The final week will be a party to provide an opportunity for skippers at SYC to find enthusiastic and knowledgeable crew members for the upcoming racing season!
Sign up for the full 5 weeks or individual class.
General admission $ 75.00; Individual Class $17; Crew/Skipper $17
SYC or SEAS member $ 50.00; Individual Class $10; Crew/Skipper $15
