Level 202A: July 1st-5th 2024

Course Description

This course is for older students, ages 11-16, who have been recommended for the level two class or have equivalent experience. This is a one-week version of the 202 class. This course is taught in Optimist sailing dinghies, RS Teras and two-person Vanguard 420 sailing dinghies as well as RS Fevas 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 most students require at least 2 summers in level 2 to advance to level 3.
