Fleet
Optis: The sailing program
also utilizes
Vanguard prams to learn steering and sail-trimming
skills necessary to continue in the sport of sailing.
Sonars: The sailing program
has 2 club Sonars to take a small crew of students and
build crewmanship along with developing and
understanding the separate skills involved in sailing
and how they work together.
Class Room
Although emphasis is placed on
spending time on the water, classroom time is used to
explain to the student basic sailing knowledge including
terminology, safe boat handling. The classroom is also
utilized on bad weather days to provide fun and
educational time when it is not appropriate to be out on
the water.
Waterfront
Our waterfront facility is set up
specifically for the easy and safe access to the boats
and harbor for the students. It is recessed from boat
traffic and in plain view of the waterfront personnel,
the dock house and the sailing instructor office. Boats
are launched, rigged and returned to this dock each day
giving the students the experience of rigging, handling
and caring for the boats by helping the instructors.
