SBYSF 2015 Summer Sailing Program
SBYSF Summer Sailing Program Overviews
Ages
8-13
12-18
Morning Session
Afternoon Session
(9:00 – 12:00)
Novice Optimist Sailing
(1:00 – 4:30)
Optimist Racing I
Classes are held in one-person, 8’
Optimist dinghies. Sailors will learn basic
sailing and seamanship skills, with an
emphasis on safety and having fun on the
water.
Sailors will learn intermediate and advanced boat
handling techniques, as well as racing strategies
and tactics.
Novice FJ Sailing
Teen Racing (FJ Racing)
This class is an introduction to sailing for
teenagers who have limited to no sailing
experience.
Classes are held in two-person 14’ Flying
Junior (FJ) dinghies. Sailors will learn
beginning to intermediate sailing and
seamanship skills that prepare them to
participate in FJ racing.
Sailors will learn intermediate and advanced boat
handling techniques, including sailing with a
spinnaker sail. Teen Racing sailors are
encouraged to attend regional regattas during the
summer as schedules permit.
Optimist Racing II
Sailors in this group must be recommended by
their Opti Racing I coach to join the Opti Racing
II program.
All sailors MUST complete a swim test on the first day of the session
The test is generally the hardest part of camp, at least for sailors who happen to start on a cold, foggy
morning! In reality, the test is not very difficult—we look at it more as a way to measure comfort level
in the water, rather than pure swimming ability. The test consists of swimming from the beach to an
anchored safety boat, donning a lifejacket in the water, and then swimming back to shore with the
lifejacket on. The distance from shore to the boat is only about 20-25 yards. Sailors who are unable to
complete the swim test will not be allowed to continue in the program.
All sailors must wear a Lifejackets on the dock at all times
Lifejackets (PFDs) are to be worn at all times while on the dock or on the boats, so it is important to
choose a comfortable PFD that fits your sailor properly. We have some lifejackets to loan, but we are
limited in supply, please let us know if you will need to borrow a lifejacket.
SBYSF Race Team
The SBYSF supports a highly successful Race Team—members typically sail year-round, competing in
regional, national and international events as well as on our local High School sailing teams. Admission
to the Race Team is by application only. Successful applicants have usually sailed with us for a few
summers, and have demonstrated a strong interest in competing at a high level. Please see the Jr.
Program Director for more details.
