Junior Sailing Program 2011

 

An introductory sailing program for youth ages 8 to 14. This program is designed to

teach basic sailing skills and enhance confidence on the water. In addition to learning

boat handling skills, young sailors are taught the value of team work, basic weather and

tide forecasting, the importance of protecting the marine environment and maritime rules

and regulations. The classes will be conducted in a non-competitive atmosphere.

 

Beginning Sailing – This program is designed for the novice sailor or one who has

limited experience and wishes to brush up on very basic sailing skills.

 

Intermediate Sailing – This program is designed for sailors who have completed the

Beginning Sailing program either this year or last and wish to progress to a more

advanced sailing level. Students who have not completed the Beginning Sailing program

allowed in this program with the approval of the head instructor.
