Learn to rope and ride an 8' pram before wrangling bigger boats. Our colorful El Toro dinghies are extremely fun. They are immediate and responsive, tiny and direct. Learning in dinghies amplifies sailing and teaches fundamental skills that you can apply to anything with a sail. Six two-hour classes will include a short chalk-talk followed by on-the-water lessons. Learn a ridiculous amount in a ridiculous little boat, and then sail all summer long in our El Toro Livery!
