Learn to Sail - Pram (formerly Optimist)

Recommended Ages: 7 to 12

Prerequisites:
None

Description:
The Pram program, often combined with White Sail I, II and III, is a learn to sail program for children, and is taught in Optimist (or similar) dinghies.  Sailors generally start out sailing with a friend in the boat, then move up to sailing on their own.  Instructors teach basic sailing concepts (such as sail trim, points of sail, tacking and gibing), as well as water safety and teamwork.
