Fall 2024 Sunday Opti Sailing Clinic

Experience the joy of learning to sail in the classic introductory boat, the Optimist Pram.

 

Beginner and All level Opti Clinics

These half-day clinics are designed for returning summer campers to test and hone their skills, repeating and reinforcing the fun of summer camp.  More advanced sailors will have the opportunity to “free sail” within the courses being used for beginners.  These clinics are a great opportunity to encourage friends to sign up and “Try Sailing” so you can show them the boats and ropes!  If your child says, “ I just want to sail,” this is the clinic for you–sign them up!  We will have instructors available to focus on each skill-level group.

 

Next Level Opti Clinics

These clinics will focus on the “Better and Best” objectives from the “Good, Better, Best” progression.  Sailors will spend a little more time with rigging and fine adjustments on the rigging lines and square knots. Time on the water will be spent learning a routine warm up; introducing newer steering concepts such as moving the tiller in relation to the sail and turning the boat to head up or down; boat handling to improve tacking and jibing; and the finer aspects of Beating and Running.  Sailors will also practice advanced line sighting between buoys and landmarks. These clinics are strongly encouraged for those who are interested in continuing on to racing.  If your child says, “I want to race!” this clinic is for you! Prerequisite: practice tying shoe laces differentiating between a Square knot and a Granny knot.
