REGISTER FOR 2020 LEARN TO SAIL PROGRAM
All sessions are for children 7 years of age and older with beginner-to-intermediate level experience. The Program Director(s) and Instructors will assess student ability and will separate the students into a beginner group and an intermediate group according to skill level and ability. Beginner instruction will focus on water safety skills, rigging and de-rigging boats, nautical terms, knots, and elementary sailing skills. In the intermediate class, the emphasis will be on building the child's confidence in boat handling skills, including skippering the boat, learning sail trim, learning the sailing and racing "rules of the road" and an introduction to racing. Students are invited and encouraged to participate in as many sessions as possible. Registration for each class will be limited to 20 students and will be accepted on a first come first serve basis. Life jackets will be worn at all times when on or near the water. There will be a swimming test with a life jacket given by the instructors on the first day of class. All students should know how to swim with and without a life jacket. HELPFUL HINTS
