LEARN THE LANGUAGE OF SAILING & SET YOURSELF UP TO CREW

This is THE daily newsletter for go-getters who want to try something new and get out on the ocean…but have never been on a boat.

Short, irreverent emails take you through a yacht introduction step-by-step (with a few mojitos and flamingos in between), by someone easily bored and wants to skip to the good bits (but also knows sailing is a mix of two things: a little danger…and a lot of beauty).

Get the sailing terms you NEED to know to be safe onboard. And don’t feel totally clueless when you get invited to crew!

You’ve just kickstarted your journey to learning to sail.

Next step: Check your email to confirm your address.

Fiji, Greece, Caribbean…here we go!
