What it’s about: Fun on the water by learning to race. Sail and race in O’pen Bic sport boats, Lasers, or whatever boat matches your goals and skill. Parents are requested to help rig the boats a half hour before class begins and stay to help de-rig the boats.
Learn boat handling, safety, docking and racing procedures and tactics.
Who should attend: Any junior between the ages of 10 and 13 who’s completed the Opti 1 and Opti 2 programs or has passed a sailing skills expertise test. Classes open to all skill levels. Small class size means personal attention and rapid learning.
Instructors: Highly-experienced, US Sailing-certified sailors
How much: $210 per student
All boats and costs are included. You must provide your own PFD and helmet (Bicycle or Skateboard helmet is suggested).
