About us

At Rick's Small Sailboats LLC, we believe that Sailing can be an exciting affordable sport when enjoyed on small trailerable sailboats.  If you buy a new or used sailboat from us, included in the price is a 8 hour sailing lesson.  The goal of the lesson is to give you a sailing knowledge base that will enable you to figure out everything not covered in the lesson by reading books on sailing, watching u-tube videos, and gaining more experience every time you take your boat out.  In addition you can call Rick with any questions you are having trouble finding answers to on your own.  Customers who don't want the sailing lesson will be given a discounted price on the boat they buy.  Experienced sailors may still want to take a lesson, which can be tailored to their level of sailing experience. 

Rick can teach a wide variety of advanced subjects such as Coastal Navigation, Aerodynamic & Hydrodynamic boat design factors, Heavy weather tactics ie. What to do if caught in a squall with rapidly increasing wind including danger of a lee shore.
