About This Activity
The X-boat is the next step for Opti Intermediate/Advanced sailors. Sailors MUST have prior sailing and racing experience to participate in this class. In this session, sailors will learn how to effectively communicate between their skipper and crew pair. Our athletes will strengthen their knowledge of proper rigging and tuning techniques. In addition, they will develop their skills, including racing tactics and strategy through long course training, working throughout the season to feel confident competing at Dinghyfest and the ILYA X Championship. In these sessions, sailors will learn how to effectively communicate with their crew, strengthen their knowledge of proper rigging and tuning techniques, and develop their racing tactics/strategy. By the end of the summer, sailors should feel confident competing at regattas required by LMSS coaches and staff, including the ILYA X Inland. Sailors are expected to be members of Minnetonka Yacht Club and participate in weekly racing through the club. Sailors are also expected to participate in local and regional events throughout the summer. Sailors will be shuttled to Bug Island with their equipment, ready to start class at scheduled time. Registration is per boat, which includes the skipper and crew. Sailors must own a boat and sign up as a pair.
