Ahoy! The Sea Urchin class introduces younger children (7-8) to the sport of sailing for the first time.It familiarizes them with being on and around the water and helps make them comfortable and confident in a boat all while having a ton of fun doing it. Sea Urchins will learn the very basics of boat handling: parts of the boat, rowing, steering with a tiller, trimming a sail, and boat safety. There will be both on and off water instruction as well as games focused on building fundamental sailing skills. Students will sail in our brand new 8’ Prams, Optimist dinghies, and with MSA instructors on our 18-foot Ideals and will be tightly supervised throughout the session. This class is best for 7 and 8-year-old children who are unfamiliar with sailing or looking to grow their very early sailing skills.
