Discovery
For ages: 8 - 12
Discovery is a two-week class; however, it will be offered as a one-week class during the weeks of June 23 and June 30, 2025. Discovery is open to students who are brand new to sailing and/or brand new to the Opti. These students may start in a RS Quest with an instructor and other sailors to learn the basics of sailing and build confidence before being placed in SailCubes (plastic Optimitst boats). Sailors will work toward independent sailing with other sailors in the RS Quest while concurrently trying independent sailing in the Opti. The goal of this class is to teach basic rigging and sailing skills while developing comfort on the water. Once sailors have demonstrated comfort on the water and proficiency with basic sailing skills in the Opti, they will be recommended for Opti Green.
