All Students will review basic water safety, boat anatomy and the language of sailing. Sessions will include some on-shore instruction but most of the time will be spent out on the sailboats.
Beginner Students start out on small boats which are great for learning the basics. Along with an instructor, they will cover rigging, wind awareness, points of sail, tacking, and jibing, and capsize recovery. As crew, together they will discover the magic feeling of harnessing the wind to move their boat over the water!
Intermediate Students will crew on the same type of high performance boats raced at Yacht Clubs and Colleges. On these boats they will learn the finer points of sail trim and boat helmsmanship. They will also have a lot of fun doing some informal racing with each other!
Team Sailing is our Advanced sailing course where kids crew on our larger boats and learn to work as a team. The crews are small and the focus will be on racing maneuvers and tactics. Each boat will be skippered by an instructor. This course is available for students ages 13 to 18.
