Learning to sail (lemmy.world)

Hello,

i'm a newbie to the sailing world. I am in the process of getting my (german/international) boating license. I'm wondering though, since its mostly theoretical with very limited time hands on on a real boat, where some of you guys learned to sail. Theoretically after this course I am allowed to sail any noncommercial vessel.

Thank you for your help!

My wife and I took ASA sailing classes in the US because we had zero experience, and that was great way to learn the basics. But getting introduced to the sailing clubs in our area and getting involved in the local racing was where the real education began.
