Perhaps the most frequent comment we hear from new sailors is that they would have started their lifetime of adventure much earlier if only they had known that sailing was so accessible to them. Initially, most newcomers believed that sailing was egalitarian and exclusive. Until they found Chicago Sailing, that is. Now they are sailors with the world at their call; all because they heard the call of adventure.

Who do you know that would love to discover sailing for themselves, at minimal cost, maximum fun, and no commitment? Tell them about our new INTRODUCTION to SAILING. Better yet, surprise them with a gift, the gift of adventure!

In this 3-hour, on-the-water session they will not only enjoy a sensory interlude on Lake Michigan, they will have the opportunity to actually operate a modern sailing keelboat. After learning some basics about sailing theory, boat handling and terminology they will be steering and trimming the sails with a new appreciation for this elegant sport. And by the time they return to the dock for our complementary cookout, their transformation from a landlubber to old salt will be well underway. And, they will thank you for making their lives and their world so much larger.

Tuesday evenings 5:30 to 8:30 $95/person

*While this session provides a valuable insight into the world of sailing, it should not, in any way, be relied upon as a substitute for comprehensive sailing instruction.
