Opti Basics

9:00 AM to 3:30 PM

Provides an active start to sailing focused on fun, safe activities on and around the water. This course is taught in one of the most well known sail boats around the world, a small dinghy called an "Optimist". This course is recommended for new sailors who are approximately under 110 lbs. If your child is fairly tall, or over the age of 12, the CANSail 1/2 course in the larger sail boats may be a better fit, regardless of weight. On the first day of class, we will make any necessary changes to the class enrolment.

Opti Advanced

Sailors will fine tune their skills in order to get the boat sailing at maximum speed. Sailors will also learn the the basics of racing in a fun environment. This coarse is for sailors under 110 lbs who have already completed Opti Basic or another sailing coarse. Similar to the Opti Basic course, if your child is fairly tall, or over the age of 12, the CANSail 1/2 course offered in the larger sail boats may be a better fit, regardless of weight.
