  YOUTH - INT & ADVANCED - AFTERNOONS M-Th 1:00pm-4:00pm+ REGATTAS  

  
  

  JR ADVANCED SAILING:  Ages 10-17.   For sailors looking to grow beyond the basics and have fun doing it - without the pressure of racing, if racing just isn't your thing.  This class focuses on advanced boat handling, sail trim, navigation, and performance sailing.  It's perfect for confident sailors who want to sharpen their skills, try new techniques, and take their sailing to the next level in a relaxed, exciting, and hands-on way - no starting line required!

  This is a non-race class for 420 and Sunfish sailors who prefer recreational sailing and cruising rather then competition.  You will do advanced skill-building and destination sails.  Prior WPSA students taking Advanced for the first time will need approval to make sure they are ready to step up - a solid sailing foundation is needed so that you can keep up during sails and are able to handle your boat.  (Intermediate at 10am can be taken several times to get to this level.)

  Learn better boat handling and sail control, improve boat speed through point of sail and trim.  Do distance sails while mastering tacks and gybes.  Heave to.  Stop and hold position.  Man overboard recovery.  What to do in sudden weather changes. Optimizing sail trim with sail shape for different points of sail and wind conditions. Docking and departing dock under wind power.

    PREREQUISITE:  Prior approval by instruction team required.

  JR RACE TEAM:  Ages 10-17.   New students/WPSA students taking Race for the first time will need approval to make sure they are ready to step up.  GSBYRA racing days are strongly encouraged.  Solid  sailing skills needed.  Dinghy racing in your choice of boat - solo in Opti, Sunfish or Laser or the 2-handed 420 (partner needed).  We have 5 club 420’s and 12 Optis for student use - or use your own.  Student has previous sailing instruction and is ready to compete.  Review basic race rules and tactics.  Students will sail common race courses such as windward-leeward course and triangular course.  Practice and improve upon effective starts, including favored end of starting line, basic starting techniques, understanding of starting sequence.  Learn center of lateral resistance, center of effort, optimal sail shape, fine tune sail trim using telltales.  Improve rounding of all marks properly.  Learn protocol to lodge a protest.  We recommend you sign up for both Session A & B together to not lose your place in the class.  Bad weather days we still hold classroom lessons.  Students are encouraged to register for both sessions for a full summer of learning.  At times the classes may be combined depending on weather, motorboats, attendance and staffing.

  Some Fridays and weekdays are race days and are held offsite, at other clubs hosting GSBYRA races (with the exception of the one we host at WPSA).  You are responsible for transporting & supervising your child and boat to races.  A personal GSBYRA membership may be required.  *No class July 4th.  PREREQUISITE:  Prior approval by instruction team required.

  Silly awards for the end of the season throw a little humor at some notable moments. Tomorrow night, Thursday 8/14 at 6:30pm we have our annual Junior Silly Awards, sharing lighthearted and humorous moments from the 2025 Sailing School season.  This is for students that attended both sessions A & B.  Paper plate awards from your instructors!  All in good fun - we invite everyone to come!  Students will receive certificates of completion as well.  Free.  At the club!  No registration required.

  
  

  Next month  we have our formal awards event, the Annual Mess Dinner where we give serious recognition to achievements - and I urge you to come.  Tickets go on sale in August.
