Three, two, one, GO! MSA’s C420 Race Team is for sailors (ages 13-18) with solid sailing experience ready to train for local and regional regattas. This class will broaden their sailing expertise and prepare older kids for the lifelong sport of sailboat racing. This race team will practice Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 1 PM to 4 PM and Tuesday and Thursday from 10 AM to 4 PM. When you register, you'll receive a confirmation email listing this class as Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 4 PM. Active.com does not allow us to set different times for different days, so all days are set to 10 AM to 4 PM in the system. These ARE NOT the official hours. The Opti and C420 Race Teams practice Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 1 PM to 4 PM and Tuesday and Thursday from 10 AM to 4 PM. This class focuses on mastering the sport of sailing in two-person dinghies. When complete, racers will be well-rounded, independent, confident, able to work well with a partner, and capable of sailing in all coastal weather conditions. With hard work, team spirit, and expert advice from our phenomenal coaching staff, the team will wow spectators and win trophies whenever they compete! Sailors who join the C420 Race Team will, depending on their race readiness, parental support, and coach guidance, participate in local and travel regattas in the Massachusetts Bay area and beyond. Team alums will be well-suited to work as sailing instructors/coaches, compete in national junior sailing competitions, and race for competitive college programs. Sailors who have completed several Beginner C420/Laser sessions, previously raced Optis, or have a solid intermediate/advanced skill level are welcome to join the team.
