Surprise! You're in Charge (double session class)
Sarah Pederson
Learn what to do if you find yourself unexpectedly taking over the responsibilities of getting the boat safety back to the dock. This class is for all skill levels but is focused on those who have not regularly had the opportunity to take charge of a boat in a variety of conditions. We will cover how to prepare yourself, safety equipment and information, sailing techniques, docking, anchoring, radio use, and more. Participants will have the opportunity to apply this new knowledge into “real life” scenarios.
Born into a sailing family, Sarah’s love of the sport started early. While growing up in Kenosha she learned to sail in Penguins and raced a Thistle with her family. She taught for Offshore Sailing School in Florida and Tortola, BVI. When she returned to the Midwest, Sarah taught children and adults in Kenosha and Racine through their yacht clubs. She’s been active in all types of racing from local championships, skippering a Mirage 24, J/24 (all woman crew) and a C&C 30, as well as long distance races such as the Chicago-Mac, Port Huron-Mac and the HOOK.
Skill level: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
