LCYC runs a junior sailing program, instructing youth on sailing and racing. The program uses Flying Juniors and Optimist dinghys for training and regional races. Our location on Shelburne Bay is a wonderful place to learn how to sail.

2012 PROGRAM

The 2012 schedule is being developed and will be posted in early February. Documentation of the curriculum is available for reference.

Important:

Participants must be able to swim. A swimming test will be given on the first day of each session. Participants must come to class every day with an approved life preserver (Type II or Type III) and in the case of full day class, lunch.

Groups:

Youngsters will be placed into groups based on their age and their level of experience or competence. The head instructor will make the final determination of appropriate placement.

Beginner: anyone age 8 -17 who can swim and wants to learn to sail.

Intermediate: anyone age 11-17 who has some sailing experience and wants to improve their sailing ability.

Advanced: anyone who has developed the basic skill of sailing and would like to perfect their sailing technique.

Racing Team: anyone who has interest and qualifies to compete.

Kids and parents are encouraged to participate in our junior sailing forum.
