Cruising Group

Held every other Saturday at the Minneapolis Sailing Center starting June 1, 2024 10-12:30pm.

Within this group you will learn how to sail at your own pace with the help of a sighted guide.  The blind/visually impaired sailor will learn everything that has to do with sailing.  No experience is necessary. 


For example:

  • Rigging a boat
  • Being at the helm
  • Using the mainsail
  • Using a jib
  • Safety
  • Finding the wind direction
  • Many more


For the 2024 season we have some sailors that will do solo sails, get their flag ratings and sail off the mooring.
