INTERMEDIATE LEARN TO SAIL
"It's what you learn after you know it all that counts."
John Wooden
Do you remember learning to ride your first bicycle? Or piano lessons, or shooting basketballs through far away hoops? These challenges were eventually conquered through invested time and practice. Along with new and exciting concepts introduced in Bonneville’s Intermediate Sailing Program, such as night sailing, climbing the mast, man overboard at night, and docking, time invested in practicing precision tacking, jibing and trimming for speed will be the “bread and butter” of this course. With practice comes skill and with skill comes confidence. To accomplish these goals, we’ll set up the Diamond of Doom to sharpen your timing when rounding the buoys. We’ll also key in on how to read tell tails and adjusting sails for optimum performance. You will also have electives to choose from to further hone those skills you would like to work on.
This is a great course for moving your sailing abilities to a whole new level. Kind of like taking your hands off the handlebars . . . and knowing you're not going to crash and burn.
Successful completion of the Basic Learn to Sail course and instructor's recommendation is required to advance to Intermediate Level.

INCLEMENT WEATHER & CANCELLATION POLICY
Sailing in different weather conditions is part of the learning experience. Certain aspects of on-the-water training can be administered while safely at the dock. Bonneville School of Sailing reserves the right to cancel in case of inclement weather, or other conditions that may be deemed unsafe.Please note that due to the Covid-19 virus, things can change quickly. Bonneville will reschedule any lessons that are affected by this virus.
Inclement weather is determined based on the criteria of safety and comfort and is generally defined as:
- Persistent, rainy conditions (not a passing shower)
- Thunderstorm/lightning activity which cannot be avoided safely under sail.
- High winds (threat of micro-burst activity) or high wave conditions which would make sailing unsafe.
Please note: If the customer requests a cancellation for specific lessons after lesson dates have been confirmed, lessons can be made up at an additional rate of $60.00 per hour.
No refunds will be given if the course is cancelled less than 7 days prior to beginning unless we can fill the course vacancy.
TESTIMONIALS
"Todd is a master instructor. He has amazing patience and is always encouraging. The boats used in the course were very safe, comfortable and well maintained. Having completed the beginning and intermediate courses I'm hooked on sailing. My experience with Bonneville has been invaluable in developing a sense of sailing principles as a foundation." Trent
"Just reviewing basics was helpful, but we were lucky and had some heavy weather so instead of just talking about it, we experienced it. Night sailing was beneficial. That helped to solidify things for me and I learned a lot because of that. Everything was wonderful. Thanks Todd for your patience and calm demeanor." Cheryl
"Todd was excellent. He obviously has a fondness for sailing and makes the lessons very interactive. Challenging without being overwhelming." Zach
"A terrific experience that not only taught you to sail but helped us grow as people and a couple. Thank you!" Mark
