Prerequisite: Ages 10 to 17 and able to swim 50 yards. Successful completion of Intermediate Sailing, four or more weeks of sailing camp, or similar dinghy sailing experience.
A performance-oriented class for graduates of the Intermediate class where we use racing for skill development. Sailors will learn how to sail the boat faster and more efficiently using sail trim and crew weight to maximize boat speed and improve overall performance. Other topics include roll tacking, advanced boat handling skills, weather recognition, tactics, starts, strategies for rounding a mark, boat speed and the racing rules. Sailing drills and short course races will allow each student to advance his or her sailing skills in a more challenging environment.
Note: This class will meet at Marina Park located at 1600 W. Balboa Blvd., Newport Beach, CA 92663
Safety: All children participating in sailing camp must pass a swim check which will be held on the first day of each session. Each child will swim approx. 20 yards and tread water for 2 minutes – lifejackets may be worn during the swim check.
