420 EXPLORERS
The 420 Explorers Class is for beginner and newer sailors to enjoy learning to sail in a non-competitive environment. Sailors will learn all the basics needed to get on the water and build confidence. New games and adventures each session allow for sailors to repeat this camp multiple times.
420 cruisers
Sailors who have mastered the 420 Explorers skills are ready to move to the 420 Cruisers. Sailors will spend time exploring the chain of lakes, sailing to the beaches, sailing the Ensign 22’ keelboat, and playing games that focus on building better sailors. Sailors will also learn cruising skills like basic navigation and docking all in a low-pressure and non-competitive environment.
420 Intro to racing
The 420 Intro to Racing Class is for those sailors who know the basics, have good control of the sailboat, and are interested in taking the next step in their development. Through racing and games, sailors will improve boat handling and sail trim while learning about the exciting world of Sailboat Racing.
Students will also be introduced to sailing regattas at the local Twin Cities Youth Sailing (TCYS) Regattas.
