What boat is great to start learning?
As an adult learner, you may wonder which type of boat is best suited to your needs. You may want to take into account factors such as your comfort level, learning style, and future sailing goals. Whether you prefer the stability of a keelboat or the agility of a dinghy, The School of Sailing & Seamanship offers a wide variety of learn-to-sail classes on boats to allow you to find the perfect fit.
Beginning adult students typically start in 14-foot Lido 14 dinghies and progress to 30-foot Shields keelboats.
For adult students who prefer a more stable platform and smaller group instruction our 20-foot Harbor 20 keelboat class is a great way to start sailing.
