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.
Our class designations are somewhat different this year reflecting the
fact that time on the water is the most important facet of a students
sailing progress.Each week of
training counts as one level.The
training may have been with Seaford Yacht Club or other sailing schools.
