About This Activity
Teen Vanguard is an exciting introduction to double-handed dinghy sailing. Using Vanguard 15s which are fast, responsive, and fun boats, sailors learn how to rig and sail in both skipper and crew positions. Through on-the-water coaching, demonstrations, and skill-building games, participants work on, and develop teamwork, boat handling, sail trim, and communication skills. Sailors will also learn capsize recovery using the scoop method, along with essential knots and sailing fundamentals. The Vanguard 15 is the boat used for our Middle School Sailing Team and closely resembles the FJs sailed in high school competition, making this camp excellent preparation for team sailing. Whether you're aiming for middle school, high school, or just looking for an adventurous week on the water, this camp builds confidence and competence quickly. No prior sailing experience is required — this is a fantastic way to dip your toes into the world of performance sailing. Full-Day Option: Sailors may register for both Teen Vanguard and Teen Keelboat to create a full-day sailing experience. For families choosing the full-day option, we offer supervised lunch coverage for a small additional fee. Please select this option during registration.
