Build Your Confidence on a Boat Whether It's Your First Sail or Your 15th!
Terri Schmidt & Teresa Coronado

Confidence is built over time and with experience. However, we do have to have some level of belief in ourselves in order to get on the boat those first few (or few dozen!) times. Join this discussion with two experienced sailing instructors who will share tips including the value of setting achievable goals and how asking for help can actually increase your confidence. Build your knowledge and self-knowledge so that you can take that next step as a sailor!

Skill level: Beginner

Picture
Teresa Coronado learned to sail scows on her grandfather's knee and has been sailing all boats in all weathers since. Teresa crews on Eclipse in the MBWSO Monday night racing series and has learned to gybe a pole and not fall off the boat, as well as skippering/crewing in the Milwaukee Community Sailing Center (MCSC) Sunday morning series. She currently sails a Sunfish, a Butterfly, and an old Capri 13 on Lake Michigan when she isn't chartering on Lake Superior or in the BVI. After joining the MCSC nine years ago she began sailing the loveable Ensign, too. She recently competed in the Race to Alaska and is currently the Program Manager of the MCSC.

Picture
Terri Schmidt sailed a Sunfish as a young child, then returned to sailing nine years ago at the Milwaukee Community Sailing Center, where she sails Ensigns, Solings, J24s, and 420 centerboard boats. Terri crews on the Goman Express 35 Sanity Check for Wednesday night races and on the Catalina 36 Cattywampus on MAST Friday night races. She has recently chartered double-handed, cruising in the Apostle Islands and the North Channel of Lake Huron. She has competed in two Queen's Cup races. Terri is looking forward to her third season as an Adult Basic Sailing Instructor at MSCS. She dreams of adventuring in the BVI one day!
