Online instructor led class, introducing safety on the water, why it is necessary, what equipment is used, how to signal for assistance and what to do in the event of a capsize
Instructor will present various scenarios and ask the class to share and discuss ideas for safety procedures

# data[].attributes.body
An instructional video that covers the practical aspects of sailing.  Outcomes are
Understand how sailing boats travel using wind
Recognise and correctly name the basic sails and ropes
Name the basic anatomy of a boat.
This sets up the learner for Part 2, which will be conducted on the water.  They will now have an understanding of terms and functions that allows them to progress more quickly with the practical activity

# data[].attributes.body
Synchronous class.  Tutor will introduce basic knots, explain the purpose of the knot, demonstrate how to tie and and then facilitate the class in practicing the knots.
- figure of eight
- bowline

# data[].attributes.body
An introductory video to maximise efficiency of synchronous learning by ensuring the learners come to the class already equipped with knowledge

# data[].attributes.body
Explain how sails use the wind for propulsion
Explain how the design of a boat converts wind into forward motion
Explain how the main control ropes are used in response to changes in wind/boat direction

# data[].attributes.body
Instructor will present a new set of safety scenarios with descriptions of equipment and actions. The class will review each scenario and identify where they think the safety equipment is adequate or inadequate.

# data[].attributes.body
Differentiate between sails
Differentiate between ropes
Introduction to basic terms

# data[].attributes.body
The majority of instructor time will be coaching the class through the correct knot tying techniques

When to use a particular knot
How to tie the knot
How to undo the knot

# data[].attributes.body
Hand/eye coordination - turning or laying the rope in the right direction to achieve the correct knot

Introduction to safety on the water, why it is necessary, what equipment is used, how to signal for assistance and what to do in the event of a capsize
This is essential before any learners venture out onto the water

The importance of safety
Identify the essential safety equipment
Know how to signal for assistance
