A fleet of 12 Tech dinghies is used for novice sailors. Intermediate sailors use 14 ft. Flying Junior sloops and are taught more advanced boat handling techniques and use of the spinnaker. A separate three-week Racing Class is also offered for the 2001 season. The class begins May 7th. and takes sailors through an entire race course from starts to mark roundings to finishes.
Instruction includes racing rules and tactics asa well as boat handling techniques.
Most class participants go on to race in our summer Friday Night racing series. Returning for 2001 are our two-week keelboat classes. Two separate classes will be held during the third term from July 25-August 19. We will require intermediate sailing as a prerequisite and no Skippers Card will be issued as the boats are not available for recreational use. Recreational sailors are also welcome.
