Free Sailing Lesson on the Water | Berkeley

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Cal Sailing Club, a non-profit, volunteer-run sailing club located in Berkeley gives free Beginning Sailing Lessons three days a week.

To take a sailing lesson come to the clubhouse at1pm (or 10am on saturdays). Lessons are taught on a first-come, first-served basis by qualified fellow Cal Sailing members.

You don’t need any gear whatsoever. We have loaner gear for everything you need…. everything from the boat to life jackets to sailing bibs to foul weather jackets – even wetsuits if you would like to get really wet. All of these are available in a variety of sizes for you to borrow while sailing.

What Can you Learn at This Sailing Lesson?
A Cal Sailing beginning sailing lesson typically provides an hour and a half on the water with one instructor and up to four students in a 15′ dinghy sailboat to learn basic sailing skills, identifying wind direction, adjusting the sails, and sometimes you’ll even get some time at the helm driving the boat.
