Docking Clinic

Dock like a Pro

This one day clinic helps focus on knowledge and practical skills involving docking a medium size sailboat with inboard diesel and wheel steering. Students will become comfortable with both the process and precautions for proper docking and be able to execute techniques on mid size sailing vessels in moderate conditions.

Learning is the Gateway to Having Fun on the Water
