the First Sail Experience
What it is
If you've never sailed before, how do you know if it's something you enjoy enough to want to spend the time to learn how? The First Sail Experience is a 2 hour sail with a certified sailing instructor, to let you try it out.
Where to try First Sail
There are several sailing schools in the greater Seattle area that offer the First Sail experience, including Windworks Sailing and Powerboating, Seattle Sailing Club, the Center for Wooden Boats, Sail Sand Point, and Renton Sailing Center. More info on each of these schools is found on the "Local Sail/Power School" link under "Learn" above.
