First day of classes today

Here we have the first of our Basic 101 classes heading out to the lake for their maiden voyage. We are happy to report that all had a great class, learned lots and will be returning back tomorrow morning for the second class.

In this shot the class is about to raise the mainsail inside the harbor to ensure a safe passage out to the lake. Note that with the mainsail being raised inside the harbor the boat will have two forms of propulsion ensuring a safe passage even in the event of the engine failing.
