SAILING LESSONS
Cowtown Mariners basic sailing classes are for those who want to learn to sail, crew or just be an informed passenger.  You will learn to have fun while being safe on a sailboat, and much more.  Classes are informal and loaded with valuable information from instructors that have years of sailing experience and knowledge.
 
The classes are on Saturdays.  Contact our Commodore, Patrick, at the weekly meeting, by phone at 817-789-1274 or by E-mail* to sign up or for information.
 
*The cost for the class is $30 for members of Cowtown Mariners and $40 for nonmembers.  Nonmembers may apply for Mariners' membership and obtain the member rate.  Informational flyers are available at the weekly happy hours.  The fee includes a textbook.
 
Any new series of basic, intermediate or advanced sailing classes will be formed based on demand from our members, guests or other interested persons.  The days and times for these courses will be determined by your input.  Please contact the chairman of the education committee with your input or questions.
 
The SailNet.com Web site has some pretty good information on learning to sail.  Check out this link.
 
Cowtown Mariners meet every Thursday at R.J. Gator's Hometown Grill & Bar, located in the North East Mall Shopping Center next to Rave Motion Pictures, beginning at 6:30 P.M.
 
If you register by October 9, you will receive your textbook in advance of the class.
