uu CSFA offers 2 Youth Sailing Courses Is offered on Vanguard Opti's. The class is a comprehensive course broken down into a 3 hour session, Monday through Friday 9am – 12pm for ages 8 to 11 and in the afternoon from 1pm to 4pm for ages 12 to 16. This course introduces children to the fun of sailing through the use of Vanguard Optimist Dinghies. They will learn righting a capsized boat, points of sail, rigging, docking, learn to sail figure 8’s, tying knots and much more. To begin, there is on shore instruction and a swim test. Then training on the water for the remainder of the week. From this the children learn a whole new vocabulary and understand new concepts. Most importantly, they come away with a feeling of independence from sailing their own dinghies which helps teach them responsibility and the importance of team work. CSFA works hard to give each child the attention they need by only having 4 students at a time with an unprecedented 2 to 1 student to instructor ratio. Our kids sail, learn and most of all have a lot of fun!! Cost $300 per child Max 4 Students per class Call for Availability Prerequisite to this class is the beginner course or something similar.
