Come Sail with Us Sailing Terminology 101

Ever dream of cutting through the waves on a high performance racing sailboat? Setting and dousing a spinnaker? Double reefing the main in a blow?

As crew, you are welcome to participate in handling lines, trimming sails, navigating and assisting in dock maneuvering.

A Compass Rose charter is not for the faint of heart or weak of limb. Don't expect finger sandwiches and fluted champagne glasses. But do expect the thrill of real sailing.

With that understood, permission to come aboard!
