Hi All! Traveling to Moorea, Bora Bora, Huahine in May. I am just getting into sailing and purchased my own little 14' sailing dinghy. I would love to learn to sail it here at home and wondered if there are any classes I could take on any of the islands? Would appreciate any input.
Thanks!

There is a sailing school at the entrance to the Opunuhu bay (public beach area)in Moorea, they organise especially children's holiday camps, try contact them and see what they can do for you...
evatahiti@mail.pf or the "national" federation:
fedetahitivoile@mail.pf

is there anyone who will teach tourists? I'd really hate to be there with all the gorgeous water and wind, and not utilize it for sailing....

If you stay at Club Med Bora Bora they will teach you how to sail the Hobie Cat's. That's included with your package.

By the way, if you really want to learn how to sail the big boats, I would take this course: http://www.sdsa.com/
