LCYC runs a junior sailing program, instructing youth on sailing and racing. All instructors are US SAILING Certified* Level 1 Instructors. 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.

2008 PROGRAM

The new 2008 schedule and fees are available for download below. In addition, the 2008 curriculm and parent handbook is available for reference. Please call ahead or email to see about space availability before enrolling, or at a minimum provide a second or third choice- some classes are now full.

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 one of five groups based on their age and their level of experience or competence and may incorporate beginner-intermemdiate sailors together as well as intermediate-advanced. 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.
