OBJECTIVES
For kids to enjoy the
sport of sailing and gain confidence, awareness, and a safety-first
mentality while on a boat. Through this program, we hope
to raise their level of enthusiasm for the sport by providing
a venue where they can practice competitive or leisure sailing
after the summer program. We strive to motivate students
to continue their sailing practice throughout the school
year and return in the summer with an even greater desire
to practice the sport and take advanced lessons. Finally,
we wish to see all these students participating in regattas
held during the year.
REGISTRATION PRE-REQUISITES
All students must pass
a swim qualification test during the first day of the program
