UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND RECREATIONAL SAILING University of Rhode Island (URI) recreational Services offers beginningand intermediate sailing lessons to the general public. http://www.uri.edu/athletics/recservices/sailing.html
Extractions: For the 2003 season, we will again be offering beginner, intermediate, and adult keelboat sailing lessons to the general public. Beginners are taught the basics of sailing from rigging and launching to steering and boat handling to finally sailing on their own. A fleet of 12 ft. Tech dinghies is used for novice sailors. Intermediate sailors use 14 ft. Flying Junior sloops and are taught more advanced boat handling techniques and use of the spinnaker. Sailing lessons for children (ages 10-12) and youths (ages 13-16) are also available. For those sailors interested in competitive sailboat racing, a separate two-week Racing Class is also offered for the 2003 season. The class begins May 12, 2002 and takes sailors through an entire race course from starts to mark roundings to finishes. Instruction includes racing rules and tactics as well as boat handling techniques. The course finishes with the Great Salt Pond Regatta to determine the class champion. Most class participants go on to race in our summer Friday Night racing series.
Hostellers Sailing Club - Dinghy Cruising Resources for those using small sailing boats for recreational travel over relatively long distances. http://www.btinternet.com/~sail/cruising.htm
Extractions: Windy weather and the capsize problem By 'dinghy cruising we mean the use of a sailing dinghy for recreational travel over relatively long distances, generally with overnight stops. Most dinghy sailors use their boats for racing, or just for pottering, which usually means sailing for an hour or two in one patch of water. Few dinghy sailors seem to be aware that their boats are potentially capable of covering greater distances and carrying all the equipment that will be needed for overnight stops. I suppose that if you want a definition of dinghy cruising then you need to supplement it with a definition of a dinghy. In this context we take a dinghy to be a small (say less than about 20 foot length), open (i.e. no permanent cabin) sailing boat which does not have heavy stabilising ballast. However, we don't need to apply these conditions too rigorously, there are some boats which most people would think of as dinghies but which do have some ballast (my own boat is one) and there are some which have a tiny cabin but which are otherwise dinghy like in style. The HSC Wayfarers are certainly dinghies in all respects. There are also a growing number of people cruising with what are basically rowing boats, perhaps with a small sail to provide relaxation on downwind legs only, this can reasonably be included as a form of dinghy cruising.

He is in fact an excellent all-rounder; he has surpassing arête. "Arête implies a respect for the wholeness or oneness of life, and a consequent dislike of specialization.
