BAADS New Sailor Training Program
Purpose: To provide an opportunity for inexperienced sailors to be exposed to the fundamentals of Sailing. The program will be open to anyone else who may desire a refresher.
Goal: To provide the necessary exposure to ensure success in formal (ASA/US Sailing) courses. It should be every student’s goal to be subsequently recommended by the BAADS Board of Directors for participation in a formal course, at BAADS expense.
