About This Activity
Opti Intermediate/Advanced is designed for sailors who have completed Opti Beginner and are ready for more time on the water and deeper skill development. Building on foundational skills, this camp focuses on increasing confidence, independence, and overall boat control. Sailors refine tacking and jibing while learning more advanced techniques such as sail trim, wind awareness, hiking to balance and flatten the boat, and introductory racing tactics. By the end of the week, our goal is for sailors to confidently sail their Optis independently in a safe and supportive environment. We continue to reinforce capsize recovery and other key safety skills, and we use fun on-the-water drills and games to strengthen learning. Depending on the group’s readiness, the week may include introductory racing and scrimmages. This camp is ideal for sailors currently on — or preparing to join — the Opti Sailing Team in the fall. Completion of Opti Intermediate/Advanced makes your sailor eligible to join the Opti Sailing Team.
