About This Activity
Have a young sailor interested in racing? This class will hone a younger sailor’s skills while introducing them to the lifelong (and collegiate!) sport of sailboat racing. On- and off-the-water instruction will be focused on learning the rules of racing, basic race tactics, and race-oriented handling of the Optimist dinghy. When complete, the sailor will be able to confidently handle wind conditions up to 16 knots, sail around Misery Island, and be ready, if they want to, to start racing. Sailors who choose to race will participate in local and travel regattas in the Mass Bay area and beyond depending on their race readiness and instructor’s guidance. This class is best for sailors 9 to 14-years-old with demonstrated advanced sailing skills or those who have successfully completed two or more Opti Advanced or equivalent courses.
