About This Activity
This class is perfect for teens that are interested in learning a new skill and getting on the water in an independent fashion. It’s also the first step to joining your local High School Sailing Team! Starting day one, students will get on the water in their own boats and learn the basics of sailing including steering, trimming sails, and how to fix an accidental capsize. Students will learn in 420s, a two-person dinghy sailboat used by the High School Sailing Team at competitions. In these evening classes, students will overlap with and observe the High School Team’s practices. Swimming is a required part of this class (students always wear a lifejacket).
