  Learn to sail! This is a safe and fun way for youth ages 8-18 to learn how to sail in either an Optimist (Opti) or Laser. Both boats are extremely popular recreational dinghies that also feature prominently in competition.
  
  This class teaches basic sailing as well as developing confidence and seamanship. Although no experience is necessary, campers must be comfortable in the water while wearing a life jacket.
  
  In our fun-filled camps, students will learn:
  • Basic sailing skills, in their own boats
  • Water safety skills
  • How to read the wind
  • Critical thinking skills, as they navigate a boat among a small group of other boats
  • Teamwork, as they work in small groups to rig and sail boats
  • Leadership skills, as they skipper a boat and direct a crew member
  
  Camp is M-F from 8:30am to 3:30pm each day. Campers will need to bring their own lunches.
  
  Sign up now—boat availability is limited and assigned based on early registration and experience.
  
  Registration is not guaranteed until full payment is received, and liability/medical release form is signed & turned in to the office.

  Saturday Youth Sailing
  

  
  

  Now that you've learned to sail, keep practicing! And maybe get ready for the upcoming Harvest Youth Regatta on 10 November at HMBYC.

  This series takes place every other Saturday from 25 August through 03 November, 0900-1300 each day. Our lead instructor will be on hand at all times, along with additional instructors from the 2018 summer camp season, to help you learn advanced sailing skills and the details of racing. (Hint: it's more than just boat handling....)

  Choose Opti's, Lasers, or FJ's as you prefer; the regatta is open to all of those classes.
  

  Please note: this is not a learn-to-sail event. Participants are expected to have basic sailing knowledge and experience, equivalent to at least one week of HMBYC's summer youth sailing camp.

  Registration covers all 6 sessions for a single fee. Registration is not guaranteed until full payment is received, and liability/medical release form is signed & turned in to the office.

  For more information, please contact the Youth Sailing Director, Des Cullen.

  (This series is open to current HMBYC members only, including youth members. Any sailor who attended camp during the current calendar year is a youth member of the club for the remainder of 2018. If you are having difficulty registering, please contact Des Cullen.)
