Participants will gain confidence and independence as they explore the open water and tackle more challenging sailing experiences. They are also introduced to skipper and crew teamwork,
A separate one week "Intro to Racing" class is offered that allows the student to participate in an interclub event and learn first hand about racing rules and protocol.

Our racing program is open to all experienced students at all levels of skill. This places the young sailor in a competitive environment in fleets and boats with youth of similar skill sets. Racing cultivates proficiency and refines skills through interclub regattas and sailing events. Participants will begin to engage in, and master, advanced techniques, racing strategies, and leadership training, fostering a deep commitment to sailing excellence and the Corinthian spirit.
