Free sailing improvement workshops on tap

SANDPOINT — Once again, Sandpoint Parks and Recreation and the Sandpoint Sailing Association are teaming up to offer free Saturday Sailing Workshops.

The Racing Rules and Race Management workshop will be held on Saturday, April 12, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Sandpoint Community Hall (204 First Ave.). This class is for intermediate level sailors — those who already know how to sail, who have some experience racing, and are interested in learning how to be more competitive in the Summer Racing Series.

The New Sailor Workshop will be held on May 10, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Community Hall. This class is for sailors of all skill levels, covering basic information about sailing, sail boats, cruising Lake Pend Oreille and racing.

The workshops are free and open to the public.
