These drop-off lessons run by Greater Fall River Recreation covers basic sailing, which includes knot tying, rigging a boat, leaving and returning from a dock or mooring, navigating a small boat, man overboard, and racing. Sessions are mostly on the water,  and kids will get wet.

COVID precautions:

• Classes are mostly outdoors
• Maximum 6 students for each group 
• Masks must be worn, even outside.  Kids in younger group can take masks off while sailing solo in prams. Older kids will be two to a boat, so will wear masks.
• Temperature will be taken prior to each session.

No prior experience necessary.  The two groups use different boats; a younger learner who is closer to larger / teen-size  should take the teen class.
