Basic Sailing Tips to Remember We have a passion for sailing and we love instilling that passion in others. We feel that our job is to help you master the basics of sailing so that you can safely enjoy your time on the water. Become Familiar With Sailing For your first time, sail in calm and uncrowded waters. Practicing in calm waters with little traffic will increase your confidence and give you an opportunity to get used to your boat. Be aware of tide, wind and weather conditions. Being a sailor means always being prepared. Get To Know Your Boat Choose a boat with all lines lead to the cockpit when learning how to sail. Fewer trips on deck make learning to sail less difficult, especially for the older folks. To avoid a bump to the head, or even worse, being knocked overboard, one of the most important beginner sailing tips to always remember for both passengers and crew is to be conscious and respectful of the boom at all times.
