Sequim Bay Yacht Club’s Small Boat Family Sailing program is putting on sailing lessons in June, with a three-day and five-day course scheduled.

A three-day adult course (ages 18 and older) is from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. June 6-7 and June 21, at the yacht club’s room at the John Wayne Marina, 2577 West Sequim Bay Road. Cost is $90 for the class and $25 for training material. Class size is limited to 12 students.

The five-day, on-the-water small boat sailing course is from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday, June 22-26, also at John Wayne Marina. Cost is $125 for the class and $25 for training material. Class size is limited to 12 students. The course is designed for adults and families — minimum age 12 and older (youths must be accompanied by an adult).

On-the-water instruction for both courses is on Sequim Bay using Flying Scots — 19-foot sailboats that course organizers say are stable, safe and roomy and that anyone can sail.

Both are beginner courses so no boating experience or equipment is needed to take the course.

This U.S. Sailing Organization sailing course covers boating right-of-way rules, how to ready the boat and yourself for safe sailing, how to rig the boat’s sails and the lines that control them, how to cast off and return to dock, how to steer and maneuver the sailboat using the boat’s helm (tiller and rudder), proper sail handling and trim and how to safely have fun on the water.
