Additional
Information
Classes
will meet every day scheduled. Rigging, safety, equipment maintenance and other
skills will be developed off the water on non-sailing days.
Sailing
1
This
class focuses on having fun while learning the basics of sailing, including
identifying wind direction and puffs, rigging and launching, sailing a straight
course, tacking or jibing around a buoy, recovery from a capsize and safety, and
retrieving boats with the help of other classmates. In addition, youth will
begin to learn knots, boat parts, basic sail trim, and will increase their
confidence. They will also learn to assist others and treat their equipment with
respect. Optimist sailboats are used for the sailing classes. Students are
encouraged to repeat this course until they are comfortable enough to sail solo,
building on their skills with each subsequent session before proceeding to
Sailing 2.
Sailing
2
Students
taking this course should already be able to comfortably sail solo.
In addition to continuing basic skills (see Sailing 1), students learn more
advanced sailing theory, continue to develop skills of launching and landing,
sailing in all points of sail and with proper sail trim, handling wind shifts
and puffs, problem-solving and further developing communication skills. Students
may be introduced to other sailboats in this class. Repeating this course is
highly recommended as students will continue to develop their skills and
knowledge with each subsequent session.
Introduction
to racing
As students develop their skills, and if there is sufficient demand for a racing course, the AYSC will offer a once-a-week racing series. Prerequisites: Ability to sail well, fully independently, and written consent of the Anguilla Youth Sailing Club Program Director. Very limited instruction is given, as each youth will be concentrating on his or her own skills and technique. There will also be a focus on developing students’ abilities to compete in actual regattas.
