Morning Sail Camp (Ages 7 -10)

Program Cost:  $150 Members/ $190 Non-Members

Sailboat used: Opti

We hold this class in the morning to take advantage of the generally lower wind speeds for our younger sailors. In this class, youth sailors learn the basic skills to sail a small boat independently.  Sailors are taught the parts of the sailboat, the points of sail, capsize recovery, and basic knot tying.  Students are divided on skill level and instruction is tailored to that level to ensure students stay engaged and continue to enjoy their skill development.  Our young sailors can take this class multiple times and will be divided based on skill levels while working with the instructors to improve their sailing abilities.

All students will always wear life jackets.  Instructors, either in the student's boat or on a safety boat, accompany the students.  All instructors are experienced sailors and have learned to sail in the DLYC Sailing School.

The DLYC is offering a limited number of scholarships for youths who need financial assistance to attend. Please contact Louis Csokasy at lrcsokasy@comcast.net or Jackie Comeau Bankowski at jcmgm@aol.com.
