I learn to sail in this week's episode. At The Royal Cape Yacht Club in Cape Town, I enrolled in a beginner sailing course on the SV Chantelcler, a 45" Bruce Roberts sailboat. Sailing basics. Eric and Brett, explain yacht safety in detail.
Join my new crewmates as we head into the bay to log our first nautical miles.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS ABOUT THE TRAINING BOAT: SAMSA endorses SV CHANTECLER as a blue water cruiser and training vessel. She was a winner of the Cape to Rio race in 1993 for the cruising class and completed a five-year circumnavigation around the globe.
