This course is for students ages 8-10 who have been recommended for the level two class or have equivalent experience. 

​

This course is taught in Optimist sailing dinghies, O'pen Bic sailboats and RS Teras and will build upon the skills learned in the Level One class. Students will learn to become more aware of wind and weather, and will focus on more advanced sailing, boat handling, and safety skills, including tacking, jibing and landing a sailboat. Students' skills will be constantly evaluated and at the appropriate time those who are interested will be introduced to advanced concepts and/or competitive racing.

​

Please note that since level 3 doesn't start til the student is 13 most students require at least 3 summers of level 2 to advance to level 3.
