Annapolis Sailing School

The ability to reduce sail area quickly, coupled with when to do so, is a fundamental safety procedure on any boat. The truth is, weather reports can be inaccurate or not consulted at all. It’s a beautiful day and that’s all some need to go on. But one of the fun things about sailing is the surprise the weather. For the skilled and knowledgeable, it’s an adjustment. For everyone else it can be, at the least, upsetting and at the worst, tragic. Let’s get you in the club of the former.
