The 420 sailboat is a responsive two-person boat ideal for learning. Sailors will learn everything they need to skipper and crew the boat including rigging, sail-theory, boat parts, landing at a dock or buoy, and right-of-way rules.
Instructors are provided on shore and on the water to make learning to sail fun and easy.
Students will receive the US Sailing book Learn Sailing Right to reinforce the concepts taught in class.
Students do not need to sign up with a partner. Pairings will be made in class if needed. Children ages 12 and older are welcome to register for the class along with their parent or guardian.
If a session is missed due to weather or other precipitating events, the session will be rescheduled 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM the Saturday following each two-week class.
Note: The 420 is a boat that requires some athleticism and participants can expect to squat, crouch, and to step down from a dock to enter the boat. Students may also get wet feet and bottoms. These boats do capsize and are designed to be easily righted. Students will learn how to safely right a capsized boat and continue sailing.
*Make-up class held on the second Saturday from 10 AM to 1 PM if necessary.
**Saturday class held Noon-3 PM.
***Earlier start and finish time at end of summer due to earlier sunset.
