Girls must be proficient swimmers and rising 6th-12th graders in the Fall. Those who are not already U.S. Sail Small Boat-Certified will work to complete their certification.
The sailing instructors will cover an introduction to sailing and sailing safety for the class 1 sailors, while more experienced (those who have attended Sail Away previously) will learn more advanced skills with the potential of moving to a higher class.
All classes will be grouped by the level of experience of each sailor. All classes are taught basic water rescues, parts and rigging of a sailboat, points of sail, weather, knots and hitches, and navigation.
Class 1 – Beginners Single Sailing and Safety (Tandem)
Class 2 – Intermediate Sailing Open Water (Tandem and Single)
Class 3 – Dingy Sailing (Mainsail, Jib)
Class 4 – Sloop Sailing (Flying Scot)
