She Sails Solo (for the first time EVER) on a Sunfish Sailing Dinghy

Tambi and I have sailed thousands of miles together while cruising the Bahamas and East Coast. Despite all the sailing that she’s done – she’s never sailed solo.
While at Lake Utah we had the opportunity to sail Sunfish dinghies. What a blast! Sunfish are great dinghies to learn on because they are simple, responsive, and forgiving.
The first day she spent “training”. She had a refresher course about reading the wind direction, keeping her weight on the windward side of the boat, tacking, gibing, and (most importantly) how to quickly spill the wind from the sails whenever a gust pipes up.
The next day she was given a challenge which consisted of sailing around a course that we put together using buoys, sailboat slips, and a public courtesy dock.
She ended up sailing the full course not just once, but 3 times – getting better and better with each new attempt.
Now, I feel good that she will be even more confident while sailing a BIG sailboat now that she has a better grasp on the fundamentals – which are best learned on a sailing dinghy.
Enjoy!
