Learn the basics of sailing in a classroom situation and potentially become a member of the crew on the Woody Guthrie, historic wooden replica of a gaff-rigged Hudson River sloop, to get hands-on experience.

Class meets once a week on Wednesday evenings, beginning April 16, and finishing June 4. Classes run from 7 to 9 p.m. and the cost is $50. A textbook to keep is furnished.

Location: Classes will be held at the Beacon Sloop Club, a wooden shingled building at the river’s edge across from the Beacon train station.
