June 28th to July 2nd, 2021
Merrymeeting charts a new course this summer in partnership with Sailing Ships Maine. Students will learn to row a dinghy, set and strike sail, steer, navigate, use a marine radio, operate a small outboard, watch the weather, tie knots, and follow basic safety. The primary instructional boat, the Paul Bolger-designed 25 yawl, is a strong, beamy, shallow-draft cruising boat ideal for Merrymeeting Bay. The decks are wide and spacious and will keep students socially distanced as they spend the week outdoors.
The cost of each session is $295 and includes basic Sailing Ships Maine sailing certification, T-shirt, rope, and journal. No discounts.

This women's-only NRA basic pistol class is for the first-time handgun owner, women who have never fired a handgun, and those who are curious about shooting handguns. We will cover handgun safety, basic shooting positions, how to load and unload your handgun, proper hand position for shooting, aiming, what to do when a malfunction happens, cleaning, safe storage, how to choose a handgun, and more safety. This one-day workshop includes range time. Students do not need to own a handgun to participate. If a student certifies (passes a written exam and a shooting qualification), they may use the certificate to apply for a Maine Concealed Carry Permit. Students will be given an NRA textbook when they come to the first class. For more information about range time, please contact Alice directly at alice@amaineguide.com. Price includes the $50 fee for Range time.
