Sailing Lessons wanted- Miami

[brumel]

I have a hunter 33 in Miami and would like to get some lessons in order to master its maneuver/electronics and gain confidence on the boat. Any captain in this forum interested?

Give Gary a call at the link below. I took a couple of lessons two years ago to find out if wanted to sail. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...26iRrcvgwyWbrg

I guess, but why don't you just get in the damn thing and go! That's what 99.99% of all sailors who have ever lived did. The biggest boat I ever owned was a Hoby 14 then one day a business associated said "You're a sailor aren't you? I just foreclosed on a Columbia 57 will you baby site it for a year? Sail it all you want." Hell yes. We raced it cruised it all over the Hawaiian Islands.

The get in it and go idea kind of works. Worked for me 40 years go on my 19 ft lightening. But when I bought my first hunter 27, I was very lucky to have a salesman teach me. A true yacht racer and sail trim expert he was. Even though I new how to sail from my lightening and sunfish days. I have 40 years experience now. A knowledgeable teacher is worth a lot, to give you the fine points, including basic systems. Sail trim to racing specs. Makes a big difference etc. If I could arrange it, I would love to teach you. Take a North U Fast Course if you can. As soon as I retire, I will teach sailing..

Brummel, you are on a great patch of water for learning to sail! Where are you docked/moored? I recommend that you visit MYC, CGSC, BBYC, or CRYC and make friends with some sailors there. Beyond that, just motor our in the bay on a nice day, hoist the sails, and see what happens.

I could sail a dinghy a bit (self taught) but my wife, a teacher wanted lessons and I went along too. Wow, what a lot I didn't know.
Since then we went to night school and did RYA Yachtmaster courses. We went on J24 race training in Cowes which helped a lot when racing a world champion 1/4 tonner.
Go get some training but don't be put off by them that say you can't sail without a bit of paper. There is no substitute for practical experience, so go do both.

I'm in Delray Beach, and although I'm not a professional I have 30+ years sailing experience and would be very happy to spend some time with you. I have skippered boats and raced. let me know if you have any interest
