"Life's Too Short...Live the Lifestyle of Sailing
and Cruising..." A simple lifestyle can be healthy and rewarding as well as really good for our own and the
world's environment. Sail cruising increases our awareness of our surrounding outdoor environment and of the awesome
power of mother nature. Bikini Sailing was formed to promote the
sport of sailing and cruising, and especially to encourage the increasing numbers of interested women to understand and enjoy
the sport. Do you want to try something new in your life? Or... are you thinking about selling it all and going
world cruising, or simply taking a six month sabatical to the Caribbean? Interested in buying your own boat for weekend
sailing on your local lake or waterway? Whatever the reason, a good basic
sailing education is the answer! Nothing replaces experience and time on the water, but at least a solid background
of the basics is a good place to start: sailing terminology, proper sail trim, rules of the road, aids to navigation,
the art & science of basic dead reckoning navigation, safety tips & equipment, crew overboard drills and general good
seamanship practices.
