Oh Sail

Modern Sailing

Sail Today: the modern school.

Every lesson, every harbor, any order. This is the practice surface: the same fundamentals as a first sailing course, in the waters you will actually sail.

Real harbors

Your home waters, from real chart data

Marina del Rey, San Diego, and Sydney, built from NOAA charts and real seamark data: the breakwater, the channel, the buoys where they actually are. Practice the exact landing you will make on Saturday.

The full curriculum

Everything a first course covers

Points of sail, buoyage, the controlled gybe, man-overboard, and the modern pair every marina requires: leaving the slip and docking under power, prop walk included. The chart view teaches the harbor from above, the way a navigator sees it.

Two speeds

Quick mode compresses time so a lesson fits in a coffee break. Realistic mode sails at sea pace with the real polar. Stars are judged fairly in both.
