The
goal of this class is to teach young
children a basic knowledge of sailing.
The curriculum includes learning
names for the different parts on
boats, finding wind direction, learning
to steer boats, tacking and gybing,
capsizing, and other basic features
of sailing. The class enables kids
to become familiar with water safety,
learn about different kinds of boats,
and feel confident at the yacht
club and on the water. Student will
be expected to sail individually
in Sabots. This will be a good course
to complement Summer Sea Horses
or Sea Otters who would like a review
of the basics they learned.
The
intermediate sailing class has been
created for kids that have taken
beginning sabots, and could use
some extra practice with proper
sailing techniques. The class will
introduce the basics of racing,
while still focusing on proper technique
and safety on the water. This class
is the next step for those kids
that comfortably finished Sea Horses
or Sea Otters during the summer.
