E Safety: You have a legal duty and a personal responsibility to try to anticipate danger and protect students from it. You are responsible for taking charge of all facets of the learning environment and maintaining sufficient control of it so that nobody gets hurt.


E Fun: Whatever style of sailing your various students aspire to, one thing they have in common is a desire for boating. Today most people boat for fun. One of the first and most common questions friends and family ask after class is, “Was it fun?”


E Learning: You succeed when your students learn. Start by memorizing students’ names or use name tags to help break the ice and begin team building.
