Who should take this course?
Sailors who have completed at least one 420 Camp, or multiple pram/opti camps, are 12-18 years of age, and have some experience. Particularly those who have expressed interest in playing with more advanced equipment like spinnakers, trapeze, or larger sails. A great class to explore your confidence in the boat with a small, fun, and focused group. Generally we recommend students be over 5’ or 100lbs in order to be comfortable. Sign the (optional) additional waiver if you'd like your student to have access to boards, foiling, and other adventure equipment as part of this course. 

What will we sail?
Everything! The standard course utilizes Z420s, and adds C420s (kite and spin), V15s, Weta, Sunfish, and others to add to the excitement. New this year, you'll be able to complete an additional waiver (at no charge) to allow access to foiling equipment and boards. Essentially, this is the "keeps teens excited" group. You can't be bored in this class!

What will my child learn?
The course focuses on fun and introduction to advanced sailing techniques in a healthy and loose format. While this course introduces many of the techniques and skills necessary for success on the race course, it is a standalone course made to foster lifelong sailing, learning, and fun without the complexity or stress of a competitive format. Lessons are adapted to those in the course, exploring wherever students want to head.

What course should my child take next?
Repeats are welcome! Confident or students looking for more should think about our 420 Race or Laser Race programs, or join us in the spring or fall for HS racing.
