Stow your gear and head to dinner with your fellow sailors. Click Here 6/8/2019 On-Water Training This two-day training experience is your opportunity to get back on the water and practice your boat handling and sailing skills. On the Water Training (OWT) gives new sailors experience steering the boat and performing each role during anchoring, reefing, rescuing, and sailing. Experienced sailors have the opportunity to take command through practice maneuvers and brush up on less-used skills. This year's OWT will include exercises in line handling and steering while leaving and approaching docks, slips, and moorings. We'll practice rafting and separating as well as anchoring techniques. We'll review effective communication -- both on board and over VHF -- and practice sailing skills including sail trim, tacking, and jibing.

We’ll board our boats in Newport on Friday afternoon, July 12th and set sail Saturday morning for island destinations. A multitude of fascinating harbors are at our disposal around Cuttyhunk, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, the Elizabethan Islands, and in Buzzard’s Bay. Several full days of glorious sailing will alternate with shorter days and a layover day in Nantucket that will leave plenty of time for exploring the island’s sights and history. We’ve reserved three Jeanneau sailboats (two 42s and a 43.9) from Bareboat Sailing Charters (www.bareboatsailing.com). The cruise will last seven days and include almost 150 miles of sailing. Most nights we’ll be at anchor or on moorings, with two nights in slips. All boats will have dinghies, and launch service will be available in most anchorages.
