About This Activity
Students who have progressed through our Whalers class, are invited into our Opti Green class. This class, taught in SailCubes (plastic Optimist sailboats), gives students the opportunity to try sailing either alone or with the company of one other student, but without an instructor. Opti Green is also open to students who are brand new to sailing. These students may start in a Rhodes 19 or RS Quest with an instructor and other sailors to learn the basics of sailing and build confidence before being placed in the Optimist. The class will often be split into two or more groups that cater to individual students' skill level and progression. The ultimate goal of the Opti Green is for sailors to sail an "Opti" or SailCube single-handedly. Focus is on expanding the concepts of the Whalers Class, introducing the basic concepts of racing and building confidence through both games and basic drills. The program will run Monday – Friday; mornings from 9:30AM – 12PM and afternoons from 1:15PM – 3:45PM at the Polpis Harbor location.
