SAILCAMP | Full Day Advanced Opti 8/21

Class runs Monday-Friday, 9:00-3:00. 

Our advanced sailors are those who have had at least one week of experience sailing and have been recommended to the class by an instructor. 

PROGRAM: the goal and focus of this level is to help students refine and grow their knowledge of sailing skills. Being able to tack, gybe, steer, and understand sail trim are all prerequisites for this class. Sailors will gain knowledge of balance, basic physics, and other advanced principles of sailing. This curriculum may be modified depending on skill levels of students each week. You may feel like you’re spending time catching people up, and you may feel like you’re teaching other people skills outside the realm of this curriculum. In either case, this is normal and more than acceptable, because what’s most important is that sailors are challenged, progressing, and having fun.

All instruction possible will occur outdoors, and if indoor instruction occurs due to weather, social distancing will be practiced. Our CYC clubhouse offers two stories of open floor plans which are great during inclement weather. Vaccinations will not be required and we will continue to follow COVID protocols as directed by state and local health officials. 

All our sail camps require your child to pass a simple safety check in the water for liability. This safety check is performed during the beginning of their session on Monday, and is a basic swim and capsize check, with a life jacket on. Please be aware that if your child cannot enter the water, they will be asked to not come back and we cannot offer a refund.
