420 Blue is a two-week class for our intermediate 420 sailors. Sailors will be invited to participate in 420 Blue once they have demonstrated proficiency with the skills taught in 420 Green. In 420 Blue, sailors will be introduced to the basics of flying a spinnaker, using a trapeze, and roll tacking, among other skills. A focus will be on developing basic racing skills in a double-handed boat. 420 Blue sailors are also invited to participate in Saturday Race Days. Sailors in 420 Blue are strongly encouraged to participated in on-island racing opportunities. More information about on-island racing opportunities will be communicated to 420 Blue families throughout the summer. NCS offers shore programming on days that it is too windy to sail. If a shore day is necessary, class time may be shortened. NCS will contact parents/guardians directly via email and text regarding any adjustments to pick-up times. The 420 Blue class is held at the Jetties Sailing Center Monday - Friday mornings from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM.
