About This Activity
Discovery is a two-week class open to students who are brand new to sailing and/or brand new to the Opti. These students may start in a RS Quest with an instructor and other sailors to learn the basics of sailing and build confidence before being placed in SailCubes (plastic Optimitst boats). Sailors will work toward independent sailing with other sailors in the RS Quest before trying independent sailing in the Opti. The goal of this two-week class is to teach basic rigging and sailing skills while developing comfort on the water. Once sailors have demonstrated comfort on the water and proficiency with basic sailing skills in the Opti, they will be recommended for Opti Green. Discovery will be held in Polpis Harbor, Monday - Friday mornings from 9:15AM -11:45AM and Monday - Friday afternoons from 12:45PM - 3:15PM. Additionally, sailors in the morning class of Session 2 will participate in the Coffin Cup as part of their class in Polpis Harbor on Friday, July 19, 2024. Parents and guardians are welcome to attend!
