In this class, youth sailors learn the skills to sail a 420, a two-person boat, with another sailor or improve their skills on an Opti. While reinforcing all the student's previous sailing skills, these sailors will focus on on-water instruction, steering the boat, proper sail trim, define their upwind and downwind sailing techniques and basic right-of-way rules. Most students upon completion of multiple sessions of this course will be introduced to racing.
All students will always wear life jackets. Instructors, either in the student's boat or on a safety boat, accompany the students. All instructors are experienced sailors. All have learned to sail in the DLYC Sailing School.
The DLYC is offering a limited number of scholarships for youths who need financial assistance to attend. Please contact Louis Csokasy at lrcsokasy@comcast.net or Jackie Comeau Bankowski at jcmgm@aol.com.
