YOUTH WELCOME

Sailing Level 1 (Sep 23, 30 & Oct 7)

$100

Lessons are taught by experienced student instructors in 2-person Collegiate Flying Juniors (FJs), which makes for a fun and social sailing experience. No prior experience is required, as you will learn everything you need to comfortably sail these types of boats. A safety boat is always out on the water with the class. Life vests are available to borrow at the compound.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Dress for the weather: appropriate clothing should allow participants to be comfortable on the water for up to 3 hours. For warm days, wear sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a windbreaker if you get cold easily, etc. For cold days, wear layers or a wetsuit (if you have one), a windbreaker/rain jacket, etc. Wear shoes that can get wet. Bringing an extra shirt/ extra jacket and a towel is recommended.
• The sailing club reserves the right to change lesson dates and times based on weather conditions and other important considerations.
• A fourth date is included in the lesson set, this is a placeholder make-up date that will only be used if a lesson needs to be moved. This date can be changed as needed, so you can register for a lesson set even if you cannot make this fourth date.
• Participants should be aware that falling in or capsizing are normal parts of dinghy sailing. The coaches will ensure all students know what to do in the event that someone falls overboard or a boat capsizes.
