About This Activity
The Learn to Sail class is for children who have little to no sailing experience, including those who have taken the Sea Urchin class. Sailors are taught in small groups in Optimist dinghies. Students will learn boat rigging, points of sail, basic sail trim, and boat safety. There will be both on and off water instruction. This class has a hands-on, learn-to-sail focus. When complete, the sailor will be able to demonstrate basic helm, trim, and water awareness skills. The sailor will be able to identify the major parts of a sailboat and sail a boat from point A to point B. This class is best for children who are new sailors, age 8 -11 and who are comfortable on a boat by themselves.
