In this two day class, students will learn to row and sail Charlie Merrill, a 17-foot traditional Swampscott Dory. In addition to rowing instruction, students will gain an understanding of tides and weather on Richardson Bay and general water safety. The class will also cover basic knot tying, traditional boat terminology, and provide an introduction to seamanship on Richardson Bay. At the end of the class students will have the option to take a test that will qualify them to rent boats for rowing and sailing on Richardson Bay.
