newbie looking for free sailing classes
 

hi
guys, Recently I have decided I am gonna try sailing. And because of my
budget I have to look for free sailing classes.

Do you guys know any body or company (or volentier group) giving free
sailing classes.

the local sailing community charging too much like over $200 for 2
weeks training. Which I can't effort.

I know it is almost impossible to find something like this specially
now, but I really can't effort at the moment, since I am an unemployed
person who is in schooll..

anyway if you guys know any volentier please let me know I live in
milwaukee, wisconsin

thanks
Cemal

Hang out at the sicks with a sign that says "Will wax for rides."

Damn spell checker...docks..not sicks...although sometimes there is
that similarity...

She means Docks...Not Sicks...

Nothing free. Offer to work for a ride, or buy a boat.

A spell checker doesn't know what you intend to say--only that the word you
typed is spelled correctly or incorrectly. IF you type "head" instead of
"hear", the spell checker will pass it as correct.

my mind...

Yeah. That really shouldn't require anything very sophisticated!

snort....might as well...I've already donated over a lb of flesh to
this group..

Please avoid the resident Jerks here. They can't stop being dumb long
enough to make toast.
Check your area for yacht clubs and marinas. Visit them and make
friends if possible. Just meeting a few folks working on a boat can
lead to time aboard. You can also post on some sailing groups and
volunteer to be crew, but be sure to explain that you're a novice.
Quite a few sailors out there go it alone and might welcome the
company. You can also volunteer some work (painting, sanding and so on)
in exchange for a few sails. I got back into sailing because I met
someone who had a J30 and was invited out many times. A few months
later I had my first boat. I'm sure to always invite people out.
Sailing is also about being generous as it can be best observed through
the eyes of a new sailor. Folks here have long forgotten such things,
opting to guard their tired old boats like a treasure chest filled with
pennies and belly button lint.
Now, 11 years later I have the nicest boat in this group and sail more
than anyone! Keep a positive attitude and it will take you far...on the
land and on the sea.

Good luck,

out in an afternoon..of course, they don't acer if they get wet or
if the boat tips over.....

Go for it. If you can sail a small one you can sail a big
one.
