Abstract:

Oriental, a town of 900 residents and 3,000 boats, well deserves the title of Sailing Capital of North Carolina. The Oriental School of Sailing, founded there in 1979, is one of more than a dozen sailing schools in North Carolina and is the state's oldest. Classes range from basic keelboat sailing to bareboat chartering and coastal navigation. There are four days of instruction, including about nine classroom hours and the remainder of the time spent on the water.
