Kids with little to no previous sailing experience complete our Learn to Sail 1.  This class is designed to give the sailor a strong fundamental base of sailing skills such as rigging, points of sail, basic boat handling, water safety, and seamanship. The overall goal is to help the sailor get comfortable sailing solo in varying conditions and becoming proficient sailing the Sabot, Optimist or Open Skiff. As the sailor gains more confidence sailing they will advance to Learn to Race – Level 2.

*Sailors can use their own boat or use club boats. We have a Sabot Buy/Sell on our website

Learn to Race is for those sailors that have successfully completed Learn to Sail Level 1. In this class, the sailors will be introduced to the basics of sailboat racing in Sabots, Open Skiffs and Optis.  Specific skills include starts (using a watch), flags, mark roundings, courses, and the basic concepts of racing. This class prepares sailors to move up to our Development Team and regatta racing.

This class is for older sailors who are learning how to sail. No previous experience is required. This class uses the C420, Harbor 20 or Club FJ, a 14-foot boat sailed by a two-person team. Beginners focus on boat handling, including roll tacking, acceleration, spinnaker basics, and general sail trim on all points of sail.  Sailors will be introduced to the basic concepts of racing, but the primary focus will be to establish the fundamentals of boat handling. As the sailor gains more confidence sailing, they will advance to Learn to Race – Level 2.

*BYC provides the boats.

This class is an alternative to our racing pathway. It is for sailors that have completed Learn to Sail and Learn to Race, but prefer not to race in Regattas. This program teaches sailing through fun games (sponge tag, scavenger hunts, relay races) and focuses on overall seamanship. Sailors can stay in this group for as long as they need. The class uses CFJs, Sabots, Open Skiff, Optis, Harbor 20s, and paddle boards. 

*BYC provides the Boats or you can bring your own Sabot, Opti, or Open Skiff
