HYC JUNIOR SAILING SUMMER CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Optimist Level 1 – an entry-level class, which introduces the sailor to basic seamanship, including rigging, rowing and sailing. This class is the foundation for all consecutive classes. The critical skills taught in this class will be of value not only in training your sailor, but will provide skills for lifelong boating activities. Boat – Optimist.

Optimist Level 2 – This class builds on skills, taught in Optimist 1. The class introduces the concepts of racing, and encourages the junior sailor to compete in local competitions. Boat – Optimist

Training successful junior sailors is a major goal of our junior program. We believe that in order to train successful sailors, junior sailors should train in an Optimist as long possible. Please help us with that goal by encouraging your child to sail an Optimist. The Optimist is not only the largest sailing class in the world; it is the most competitive class for age 15 and below.

CLASS PLACEMENT & ADVANCEMENT will be determined by the Head Instructor and may change due to skill levels. (Height and weight will be considered in class placement)
