&lt;font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;Introduction to Keelboat Sailing&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 28px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="https://stcroixyachtclub.wildapricot.org/resources/rhodes%20pic.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="358" height="212"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Introduction to Keelboat Sailing class is for beginner sailors or prior sailors who would like to refresh their skills. This class is a combination of onshore lessons and hands-on practice on the water in a Rhodes 19. "Keelboat" refers to a boat that has a permanent keel rather than a moveable centerboard or daggerboard.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Rhodes 19 is a recreational keelboat used for both leisurely day sailing and one-design racing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;T&lt;em&gt;wo (2) day Course&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;, which will be held on Saturdays 1:00 pm - 4:00pm.&amp;nbsp; You will be taught the basics of sailing, sailing terminology, rigging, knot tying and general seamanship. Participants may take the Intro to Keelboat Sailing class multiple times as they master the basics.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sailors may bring snacks or water bottles as desired, as well as order lunch through the St. Croix Yacht Club Galley. The clubhouse has a water fill station for refillable water bottles.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="WordVisi_MSFontService, Open Sans, Open Sans_EmbeddedFont, Open Sans_MSFontService, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other optional (recommended) equipment&lt;/strong&gt;: Hat, sunglasses, water shoes, sailing gloves.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sailing is a physical activity. Participants should be able to move between the club launch and the Rhodes 19, balance on a moving boat, be situationally aware of the vessel's moving parts, and be able to pull on lines that will be under load.&amp;nbsp;Sailors additionally should be able to demonstrate adequate swimming ability in swimming short distances and treading water while wearing a PFD.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Recommended for ages 18 and up&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;3 Spots available.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;This 2 Day Course runs on Saturdays.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;March 28th and April 4th&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time: 9:00am - 12:00pm&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The St. Croix Yacht Club Sailing Association, Inc. will host its First Annual Charting the Course Auction.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This year’s event is especially meaningful as we celebrate the launch of our newly formed 501(c)(3) public charity and work toward expanding opportunities for all sailors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The evening will be open to the public, and we expect a lively crowd to help support the continuous efforts of the SCYCSA.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Besides attending the event, we invite you to participate in other ways as well.&amp;nbsp; Please take a moment to consider donating any original artwork? antiques? new tagged clothing or other goods you never used? The Wheelbarrow of Booze is back so clean out your liquor cabinet and get rid of those unopened bottles you’ll never use or consider purchasing a couple to donate for the cause.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;More details, auction highlights, and REGISTRATION information will follow soon. For now, please &lt;strong&gt;MARK YOUR CALENDARS&lt;/strong&gt;, tell your friends and neighbors and plan to join us for an inspiring night on the waterfront.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This class offers an opportunity for young beginner sailors to learn basic boat handling, points of sail, sportsmanship, water safety and rigging while having fun and getting comfortable on the water. Sailors will learn with one or two sailors in each boat. Curriculum typically includes basic knots, parts of the boat, parts of the sail, rigging/de-rigging, launching, points of sail, tacking, jibing, figure 8 course, triangle course, and capsize recovery. Sailors may take the beginner course multiple times as they improve their competency with basic skills.&lt;/p&gt;
