Summer Sailing at LYC :)
Opti Enthusiasts,
I am pleased to announce that registration for the 2014 summer sailing program is now open. You can find the summer registration form in the program documents tab or click here.
This summer we are offering
four two-week sessions to choose from with either full
day or half day options (many sailors take multiple sessions). Session 1: June
9-20, Session 2: June 23-July 3, Session 3: July 7-18, Session 4: July
28-August 8.
Mercury Mentors (5-7 year olds)- Our new learn-to-sail class launched in the 2014 spring
season! Sailors are taught in 15’ Mercury sailboats with a coach on board every
boat. This course is a great way for
young kids to get comfortable sailing on the water. If you are interested in
signing up for our spring Mercury Mentors, our second 8 week spring session
will begin on Saturday, March 16th.
Beginner Opti
(8-12 year olds)- This class focuses on basic boat handling for beginners.
Children will learn how to steer and trim around a course, as well as learn
points of sail. This class is designed to teach children self-reliance and
esteem through sailing and the care of their boat. The curriculum incorporates
fun games and activities to introduce sailors to basic seamanship. This class
teaches sailing fundamentals and an introduction to racing.
Green Fleet (8-12
year olds)- Designed for sailors who have participated in at least one season
of fall/spring Green Fleet, this course
is a great opportunity to keep racing over the summer! The program focuses on
boat handling, tactics and strategy for racing. Classes incorporate fun days
and a variety of drills and games.
420 Learn-To-Sail (13-16 year olds)- Students learn the fundamentals of sailing a
double-handed 420 dinghy including rigging, sail trim, wind awareness, points
of sail, boat handling, and safe capsize and recovery. This is a fun
opportunity to learn to sail with a friend.
We are also introducing Green
Fleet Friday racing that will begin on June 20th and continue each
Friday throughout the summer sailing season. Informal races will be held in front
of the club from 4:30pm-6pm. This is designated for any sailor who knows how to
race around a course on their own. We encourage all one design fleets (Opti Green
fleet, Opti Red White and Blue, Open Bic, 420, and Laser) to participate. There
will be one course and each fleet will have its own start. Awards will be given
after racing on the front lawn.
Please encourage family and friends to get involved with junior sailing this summer at LYC! Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Julia Melton
Sailing Director
