Steps to Learn Sailing


First thing that you have to do is save some money and time for this amazing experience. Secondly you should decide on your sailing school. There are two types of courses. The one’s who are allowed to give US Sailing Certificate and the others are not allowed to. If I were you I would attend the one’s who give US Sailing Certificate. This certificate is really helpful for you to rent boats and make charters through out the world. There are two big sailing schools exist in San Diego one of them is Mission Bay Aquatic Center and the other one is Famous J-World Sailing School. There are 3 important levels of course that you have to take to be more professional in sailing. First one is keel boat, these boats are up to 26 ft. Second one is cruising these boats are little bit wider and have engines which are up to 34 ft and lastly bare boats they are fully equipped and up to 55 ft. As you started to take keel boat courses I know you want to take the rest of them…

Sailing in San Diego


I started sailing in San Diego. There are two beautiful bays which are just behind the Pacific Ocean. These places are easy to learn sailing. Also there are two sailing schools in each bay. One of them is Mission Bay Aquatic Center which is located in Mission Bay and the owner of this club is UCSD and SDSU. This is a pretty good water sport club and very good in sailing. What is good in this club is you can get a US sailing Certificate which help you to rent boat through out the world. Another place is San Diego Bay This is a big bay located in the downtown. You have a chance to see the beautiful tall buildings through the bay. J- World is an another club for sailing. They are old and very professional in this area. You can get the US Sailing Certificate from hear too. The problem is their course are a little bit expensive than Mission Bay Aquatic Center. Anyway these two clubs are enough to make you a fan of sailing.

Why Sailing?


When people mostly heard about sailing, they think that it is a sport but it is not. Sailing is a life style in other words living with or against to sea. When people once feel that breeze on the boat they can not give up. That is how I started sailing in San Diego. When you are sailing you can feel your body is refreshing. Your brain is just focusing on your sails and the position of your boats. On the other hand the reflection of the sun shine through the sea makes you warm when the little breeze passes through your side. These are just how you react to the environment. You also have a main duty which managing the boat. Positioning the crew and trying to increase your speed. These are just the few of them. You can feel the rest of them when you join us…
