JOYCE MATLOCK INTRODUCES THE FIRST FULL ONLINE SAILING SIMULATOR COURSE
Why Online Sailing Education?
The future of education is changing from the standard bricks and mortar venues to large pieces of education being taught online by dedicated and talented instructors, teachers and professors.
Time, convenience, quality of education, as well as money is driving students to excel in an online environment. Sailing For Blondes is on the leading edge of online sailing education offering you the conceptual side of sailing before taking that knowledge to the water.
You will learn twice as fast and twice as “good” by first mentally mastering sailing concepts prior to going directly to an on-the-water training that lasts for a few days to a week. In this way, you will get your money’s worth from your on-the-water course and/or have faster results when learning to sail with friends.
Sailing is a learning process that continues forever; there is no end-point where the learning stops. The degree earned is in the wind you ride, the friends you make, and the deep impressions it makes in your soul.

Testimonials - Many More at Testimonial Tab
After years of wanting to sail, I came out to PPYC in Nashville to a Learning at the Helm event held on Tuesday evenings. Joyce approached me, looked me in the eye and asked "Would you like to learn how to sail?" Of course I said yes and she started to explain the sailing concepts and points of sail in a way that made total sense to me. An hour later we were out on her boat and actually sailing! As we tacked and jibed, it all came together and I couldn't believe how much I gained in such a short time. I have taken that knowledge and used it as my foundation to build on in sailing courses and just sailing out on the water ever since. Joyce helped unlock the mystery of sailing and is a huge part of the passion for sailing I have today.
This course is great. It teaches you not only what to do when sailing, but also why you are doing it. I now understand how to set my sails and why. Excellent.
