Year: 2009 Language: english Author: Steve and Doris Colgate Genre: Practical guide Publisher: Mc Graw Hill Edition: 1 ISBN: 978-0-07-161520-4 Format: EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 190 Description: FOREWORD As owner of The Moorings and Sunsail, the largest sailboat charter companies in the world, TUI Marine has 1,500 charter boats in service at forty-two bases in twenty-one countries. We are constantly on the lookout for capable sailors as clients. Steve and Doris Colgate, the owner/operators of the Offshore Sailing School, have developed more than 100,000 such sailors in their many years of teaching sailing. They have done so by never lowering their teaching standards and by perfecting a tried and true system that covers all the ways people learn: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. First they send the aspiring sailor a book to study at home before the course (visual). This book, Fast Track to Sailing, is the culmination of years of development through their introductory sailing program. Second, one of their excellent licensed and certified instructors explains sailing in a series of classroom sessions to reinforce the book (auditory). Third and most important, the new sailor sets sail for comprehensive sessions on the Colgate 26 sailboat, which was designed by Steve specifically for sail training (kinesthetic). At the end of the course, the participant sails without an instructor, gaining the confidence that comes from handling a 26-foot sailboat with other new sailors. We heartily recommend Fast Track to Sailing to anyone interested in taking the first steps to a new and wonderful lifestyle. Learn with a good foundation and you will enjoy sailing forever. Learn it right the first time and the rewards are incredible—and this book teaches it right. Sailing is one of the most environmentally responsible sports you can ever aspire to. Its carbon footprint is virtually invisible. Start now!
