Opti Learn-to-Race

This class offers an opportunity for young sailors who mastered the Pram in Pram Advanced to move on to sail the more exciting racing Optimist Dinghy! Sailors will expand on their knowledge about points of sail and learn more about racing and boat speed. Opti Learn-to-Race sailors will focus on increasing confidence in a wide variety of weather conditions. Ages 8-14, recommended weight less than 110 pounds. One goal for the class is to compete in at least one Opti Regatta (racing event) over the course of the summer! Class runs from 1:00pm-4:00pm and meets rain or shine.

Participation Agreement

Every Friday morning at SYSC during our Summer Sessions is Free Sail Friday! From 8:00am-12:00pm, all sailors from that Session are welcome to join us and bring a friend/family member along to take them sailing, give them a tour of the building and grounds, and enjoy some time together on the water! Please get in touch with us if you have any questions about the way Free Sail Friday works, and make sure anyone joining you has a completed waiver.

What To Wear

Sailors should wear comfortable, close-toed shoes that can get wet! They should also wear clothes that are still comfortable when wet, a hat and sunglasses.

What To Bring

Remember, it can be cooler by the lake. Bring along a towel, sweatshirt or raincoat and sunscreen. We also recommend bringing along a snack and a water bottle. If you have your own lifejacket, bring it with you or wear one of ours.
