Camp | Beginner 1 Opti, Beginner 2 Opti, or Intro to V15s

Beginner 1 and Beginner 2 Opti – Starting to Sail!

This camp introduces kids to the basics of sailing a small boat by putting them in the driver’s seat of an Opti sailboat. An Opti is a very stable boat with one sail so it is ideal for beginners. The main focus of this repeatable camp is the development of basic skills for a strong sailing foundation. Beginner 1 is a good fit for brand new sailors and Beginner 2 is good for returning beginning sailors.

No experience necessary.

Intro to V15s: Sailing for Older Youth 

If your child has outgrown an Opti, they can now learn to sail with an experienced sailor on a Vanguard 15 (V15). V15s are two handed boats. An experienced youth will be at the helm and provide individual instruction to your youth. A certified instructor will be on a support boat to provide assistance and additional instruction. Sign up for several weeks and your child will be a good enough sailor, they could join the racing team!!

Prerequisite: 13 to 18, strong interest in sailing.
