This part of the site covers a preliminary sailing course for the beginners. It is designed to help familiarize you with basic aspects of sailing. You can navigate between the chapters with the use of the links on the upper frame or at the bottom of each page. For intermediate and advanced sailing courses see my site named "ALESTA ALABANDA BOCI TRAMOLA"., but the site is in Turkish only.
