Dropoff/Pickup - Classes have a 15 minute drop-off window before, and 15 minute pickup window after.
Repeats - Students are of course free to repeat a class they have been in before.
Intro to Sailing is for youth who are new to sailing, or need to review the basics - rigging and basic boat-handling, and basic rules of the road, and safety.
Intermediate Sailing 1 & 2 are one single combined class, using two and three person sailboats. Instructors assign students to a level based on whether they are ready to crew, or skipper the boat.
Intermediate Sailing 1 is for youth who have taken a sailing class before, with us or elsewhere - building on the basics for more confident boat control and sailing skills. Emphasis is on crewing the front spot on a sailboat.
Intermediate Sailing 2 challenges youth sailors with more sailing techniques, such as spinnaker, crew teamwork, decision making, and a taste of racing fun. Emphasis is on skippering (steering) a sailboat.
Afternoon Racing Clinic is a training for youth sailors in the fun and challenging sport of racing, on Club-owned 420 Sailboats, the class of boats used by our Fall/Spring High School Racing Teams and the MSU Collegiate racing team. Best for youth who have taken a sailing class before, with us or elsewhere.
All these classes may be repeated by a student, and instructors may switch a student to a less or more challenging concurrent class if more suitable. Intermediate classes are best for youth who have a basic understanding of sailing and/or have taken our junior sailing classes before.
