The five-class series will be designed for All Levels of Opti sailors. The classes will follow a “Good, Better, Best” model of learning to Sail an Opti to its best performance. This series begins building the foundational skills for sailing any boat for leisure or competition. Beginner concepts and skills include steering, trimming, changes in wind speed, and changes in wind direction. Some of the advanced concepts and skills will be learning to hold the stick;  foot placement to help balance and turn the boat; and the nuances of beating and running,   We will identify rigging priorities.  At the end of the series, everyone will be independent in rigging, launching, sailing in all directions, and holding the stick.  Capsizing will be limited to beginners and no wind on hot afternoons.
