YOUTH DROP-IN PROGRAM - SAIL ALL SUMMER

AT STANDLEY LAKE

Ages 10-17

Fun in the sun! Experience the exhilaration of sailing in a challenging, yet safe and controlled environment. This Drop-In learn to sail program allows youngsters to choose the time and days that best fit their busy schedule.

A new class starts every day. Using a Sunfish, learn sailboat handling, right-of-way rules, capsize recovery, navigation, meteorology, marine safety and racing. Learning by doing is the style of this class. Instructors begin by "leading" activities and teaching youngsters what they need to know. Gradually, instructors turn the responsibility over to junior sailors as ratings are earned.

Junior sailors may plan a sail, captain a boat, navigate the lake, take friends and family sailing and eventually teach others their new sailing skills. After earning Community Sailing ratings youngsters can continue sailing Sunfish and higher performance boats such as Lasers, Hobie Cats, and 18' sloops to build their sailing skills all summer.

Youth drop-in hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

INTRODUCTION TO RACING – FRIDAY INFORMALS

Drop-In junior sailors can learn the basics about navigating their way through a racecourse at CSC’s Friday afternoon races. The class covers basic right-of-way rules, starting, mark rounding and finishing. Test the waters with these informal races. No experience necessary to crew and only a Solo rating needed to skipper.

FORMAL RACING

Any one can crew, but a Helmsperson or Skipper rating is required to captain in our formal races.

HIGH ADVENTURE DAY

Explore Standley Lake’s south shore coves and islands. Cruising is the ultimate experience, idyllic and unhurried. Cruising can be a solitary or a social experience. You are in command as your boat responds to the wind and your wishes. Solo rating or Helmsperson rating needed to skipper.

Guest privileges come with the Helmsperson rating. Parents and friends are invited to sail with their Solo rated children on three family days during July and August. Look for posted dates at the lake on our notice board.
