Ryan Foland on Teaching Tempest Sailing
This week's host, Ryan Foland, takes us behind-the-scenes as he gets his ASA 101 Certification on a Tempest at Alamitos Bay Yacht Club (ABYC). Ryan is an ABYC member and Jr Staff Commodore of the Blue Water Cruising Club (BWCC), and is getting his credentials to teach sailing, a longtime goal of his. Hear what’s unique about a Tempest, how to stay patient on (and off) the water, problem-solving at sea, how to handle low winds and high winds, and an impromptu Tempest race.
