Beginning Sailing
Morning Classes are more suitable for beginning sailing due to less wind and are structured for children 8-11 years old or for those that have little sailing experience. The Optimist will be the primary boat used to familiarize children how to: rig, de-rig, launch, return to shore, tack, jibe, trim the sail, steer, and recover from a capsize. Additional topics that will be addressed are how to tie various knots and how to recognize weather conditions. Upon completion, students should feel confident in sailing on all points of sail.
Beginning Sailing meets Monday – Thursday 9AM – 12PM

Intermediate Sailing
Afternoon classes will be designated for intermediate classes due to the increase in sea breeze. These classes are structured for children 11 and older or those that have already mastered the fundamentals of sailing. Afternoon students will further develop skills taught in the morning class and will be given introductions to right-of-way rules and basic sailboat racing. Regardless of whether students decide to continue along a competitive track, the racing instruction is fun for the students and gives them extra confidence in the skills they have learned. Optimists will be the primary boat used for instruction. If ready, with instructor‘s discretion students will be given the opportunity to move up to Lasers.

Sailing Assistants
Students enrolled in the CYC Sailing Program and who have shown dedication to the sport of sailing are eligible to become Jr. Sailing Assistants. These students make a valuable contribution to the program by assisting instructors and dockmasters in their daily tasks. In return, the assistants gain the knowledge and skills necessary to become dockmasters and instructors once they get older. The selection of Sailing Assistants is limited, so those interested should contact the Sailing Director at 256-3396, ext. 18.


Funsail
As is becoming tradition at the CYC, Thursday evenings will once again
be reserved for Funsail beginning at 6pm. Sailors of all ages and levels
are invited to race any boat of their choosing under the requisite that
they have fun in doing so. This is a family event, so bring everyone,
even if they just want to watch, and eat a late dinner on the Oceanside
of the Club.
