Have you ever wondered how a sailboat can sail INTO the wind (not just be blown downwind)? Have you ever considered learning to sail? Did you know sailing is an Olympic sport? We will answer these questions and more as we explore the joy and magic of sailing, delve into the history of sailing, learn about the different types of modern sailboats, discover the fundamentals of sailing, demonstrate how sailors observe and predict the wind, and even have you participate in your first sailboat race (on dry land, of course).

Mike Garrett fell in love with sailing when he was a boy in the mid-1960s, after a neighbor took him and his father for a ride on a small sailboat on Lake Michigan. He has been sailing and racing sailboats ever since.
