The Intro to Double-Handed Sailing program is class intended to teach inexperienced sailors how to sail a double-handed sailboat.  This program is intended for 8th Grade-12th grade sailors that are interested in learning how to sail or want to keep working on their skills from High School Sailing.  Sailors will learn how to rig the boat, the points of sail, how to tie knots used in sailing, proper positioning in the boat, the right of way rules, and depending on progress, spinnaker work.  We encourage and recommend that where possible, participants pair up as skipper/crew units prior to signing up for the class and register together, however the Junior Program can assist with pairing up un-matched sailors. The Intro to High School Sailing class will include all elements of the Double-Handed class but will also incorporate basic racing rules, tactics, and race courses in order to prepare the sailor for Fall Tryouts.

Participants will need to bring the following things to practice every day, clearly labeled with their name:

• PFD/Lifejacket (Coast Guard approved) with whistle

• Closed-toed shoes that can get wet 

• Change of clothes & towel

• Sunglasses & hat

• Sunscreen

• Snacks

• Reusable water bottle

• Bailer (could be an empty detergent bottle, or Arizona ice tea jug, with bottom cut off.)

• Notebook if you want to take notes (Recommended)
