Adult Sailing Beginner Class
The Adult Sailing Beginner Class is designed for adults who have little or no sailing experience and would like to learn the fundamentals of sailing in a supportive, hands-on environment. No prior sailing experience is required.
Participants will learn the basics of sailing MYC’s 420 sailboats, including rigging, points of sail, steering, sail trim, tacking and jibing, launching, and general on-the-water safety.
Each session consists of four classes (four full days of instruction from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM). Instruction includes both on-land briefings and extensive on-the-water practice. The course is taught by experienced MYC instructors with safety boat support present at all times.
After completing the Beginner Class, participants may join a Refresher Course. Basic instruction is not covered, and sailors are expected to already know how to rig and sail a 420.
Participants must be18 years or older. Class size is limited to ensure personalized instruction, with a minimum of 4 students and a maximum of 6 students per session.
