Sailing Guides
The sailing guides are one of our many training aids and were specifically designed to address the major evolutions on the Navy 44. The guides were put together in early 1996 by Dan Rugg and LT Dan Taylor as a "how to" reference for these evolutions. The driving force behind their inception was a desire to get every participant in CSNTS to perform the operations in a standardized manner. By reading and learning the methods outlined in the guides, you will be able to safely and effectively perform the required evolutions on the Navy 44.
