BEYOND THE BASICS
With Karin Heck
Many women, whether they regularly crew or skipper their own boats, run into the same frustrating challenges on board. You see something that needs to be done but aren’t heard. Lines feel heavier than they should. Confidence wobbles not because of lack of skill, but because assumptions, friction, positioning, communication, or timing are working against you instead of for you.
Beyond the Basics is a two-part sailing program designed to help women sailors think about and approach challenges differently so boats feel smaller, tasks feel easier, and confidence grows with repetition rather than theory.
TESTIMONIALS
“No matter your experience level, learning in a women-led, environment is supportive. It’s collaborative, practical, and builds real confidence on the boat and the water.”
– Taryn
“I thoroughly enjoyed Karin’s class. Karin is incredibly knowledgeable about sailing in all kinds of environments and boats, and obviously has a lifetime of exciting experiences and stories to share. I loved being with just women because women tend to naturally collaborate and tend to be very encouraging of each other. I didn’t feel an undercurrent of competition between us, that I often feel sometimes when men are on board. I loved that in Karin’s class, all questions were valued and no one was ever made to feel dismissed or inadequate.”
