In this one-week session, beginning students are introduced to sailing a keelboat, a J-24 sailboat. Students are introduced to trimming sails with a winch, tracking a course with a compass, and flying a spinnaker. Due to the size of the boat, this class is limited to a maximum of four students, offering a great opportunity to learn under close instructor supervision. Class is open to adults and youth.

The SJJF program is based on the US Sailing training system. Students will always wear life jackets. Instructors accompany the students in the boat. All instructors are experienced sailors, many having learned to sail in the SJJF Summer Sailing Program and trained through US Sailing.
