Sailing

I recently took classes at Offshore Sailing School at Liberty Landing a part of Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New Jersey. The three days (May 10, 16, and 17th) of classes were packed with sailing knowledge and hands on experience with a great instructor. The text book has great easy to follow diagrams and pictures and very easy to read. The instructor was highly experienced and was constantly teaching and showing us the technical things we needed to handle and sail the Colgate 26. A very fun boat and with the knowledge gained I know I can sail. We sailed the New York Harbor which includes the NY City Skyline and around the Statue of Liberty. The classmates were very serious about the class which made it a great learning experience. I strongly recommend this school and Alex Smith, our instructor. I am looking forward to more time on the water and sailing into the future! On the last day with a final exam, you receive a certification for sailing from the International Sailing School Association.
