Twin Cities Blind Sailing -- GUIDE TRAINING

Minneapolis Sailing Center is excited to continue our partnership with Twin Cities Blind Sailing. MSC is seeking guides who will ride along in Ensigns with blind sailors from Twin Cities Blind Sailing to provide basic instruction and assistance where needed. This training session will teach MSC volunteers how to guide during these events effectively.  

Twin Cities Blind Sailing will offer cruising group sailing hours every other Saturday, starting June 1st, from 9:30 a.m. to noon. Cruising sessions will cover beginner through intermediate sailing skills for visually impaired individuals with the assistance of volunteer guide instructors.

From Twin Cities Blind Sailing leader Katy Boyd: "While living in Boston, I discovered my love for sailing.  From the first practice with Boston Blind Sailing, I was hooked.  I have been sailing for about  5 years, and have participated in regattas in NY, IL, MA, and RI.  When I found out that I was moving to Minneapolis I wanted to bring something I fell in love with to the Twin Cities."
