In beginner sailing, 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! In intermediate sailing, students will crew on the same type of high performance boats raced at yacht clubs and colleges. 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! Experienced sailors will crew on larger keelboats and learn racing strategies and tactics on Club420s and Lasers. The focus will be on maneuvers and techniques. Students must have 3-4 years sailing experience and be proficient in rigging and sailing skills.
