KIDS ON BOATS will be using a variety of different sailboats for the summer program.  Our basic training vessel for the younger kids will be the JY Opti & Vanguard Optis and Laser.  For the advanced classes and older kids, the JY15 and Laser.  Incorporated into all programs will be the use of the ‘big’ boat, the Tanzer 22’.

SAILING—on Opti trainers, Lasers, Snarks, Force5, JY15s and Tanzers.  Instruction includes helmsmanship, sail trim, capsize drills, weather and boat safety, proper care of equipment.

ROWING/CANOEING—for basic boat skill, balance and coordination

Theory is introduced through practical learning, and progress is individual rather that by groups.  The ‘on the water’ teaching uses innovative and fun techniques, such as slalom sailboat courses and a little racing, kept as fun.  The kids are taught how to beach their boats and sail off again, how to read a simple chart and identify winds and weather.  Activities off the water during the mid day heat include knotwork, nautical challenges, our boating environment, and fun developed by the special dynamics of each group.
