Seamen

Age: 8-9 year old

Difficulty Level: Beginner

Seamen learn the basics of sailing and spend most of their time in Optimist dinghies. After an initial instruction period, they sail around the inner bay by themselves or with a friend in an Optimist or with an instructor in a Fast Cat. Seamen learn sailing terminology, seamanship, both helming and crewing, rigging, docking, basic right of way rules, knots, the fundamentals of navigation and on-water safety.
