Cruising Group

Held every other Saturday at the Minneapolis Sailing Center starting May 31, 2025 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 2025 season we have some sailors that will do solo sails, get their flag ratings and sail off the mooring.
