Raise a sail, drop an anchor, plot a course, make an eye splice and take command of our 50’ gaff-rigged schooner, Hjørdis. Minds and hands will be kept busy as we set sail on Lake Superior applying classroom theory and practical experience. This class will help develop the skills it takes to be confident and competent on the largest of inland seas. Aspects from age-old wisdom to modern techniques will all be covered including navigation, rope work, points of sail, rigging, GPS, boat handling, weather forecasting, heavy weather sailing, rules of the road and sail theory. Participants may utilize local lodging or inquire about accommodations aboard Hjørdis. Maximum class size is six participants.
