Part 2: The Jib

  • Course
  • 23 Lessons

Learn how to crew on a two-person dinghy. This course centers around the jib and your role in the front of the boat. We'll set up a practice course and teach you what you need to know as crew as we navigate each part of the course. We'll hold off on the spinnaker until you are proficient with the fundamentals I've outlined here in Part 2.
