ADVANCED SAILING/RACING

Advanced Sailing will include an emphasis on racing. Students will be expected to have the general knowledge of rigging, boat handling and racing. Review of the Racing Rules of Sailing, understanding wind shifts, starting techniques, general tactics and strategy will be covered. Additionally, we plan on having Thursday race days with SSYC and MCSC. Students will have the opportunity to broaden their skills and participating in Tuesday night dinghy racing. Students have the chance to also race in 3 regattas which are; Kaszube Cup, Area K Qualifiers, and Milwaukee Bay One Design. These regattas will test the student’s skills, knowledge, and enhance their racing passion. All of these are great ways to grow your passion for the sport of sailing and to make new connections at other local Yacht clubs. A MYC Racing Coach will be available to accompany students for these offsite Regattas for an additional fee.

Student should own their own gear (Type III PFD, spray top, dinghy boots, sailing gloves, water bottle, hat, and sunglasses).

Sailing platform may include Laser, BIC, and C420

BEGINNER SAILING Our Beginner Sailing Class is perfect for ages 8-17 years. No sailing experience is necessary but students are required to pass a swim test on the first day of class. Our goal is to teach students to learn to sail in a fun and safe environment. Students will learn sailing terminology, basic sailing skills and how to be safe on the water. We will emphasize sail trim for each of the points of sail, how to tack and jibe and how to leave and return to the dock. Throw in marks will be used to develop basic navigation skills. On the water time is supplemented with classroom learning and team building activities on land. For your child’s safety and comfort, they must know how to swim. Children are required to bring their own Personal Flotation Device (Type III PFD) which is always to be worn when on the water and on the MYC docks. It is recommended that students bring a change of clothing, a windbreaker or fleece, sunscreen, water bottle, hat and sunglasses.

Sailing platform may include IDEAL 18, BIC and C420

INTERMEDIATE SAILING CLASSES

The Intermediate Sailing Class is designed to build on the skills developed in the Beginning Sailing Classes. Emphasis will be placed on the essentials of boat handling. Students will acquire the skills to become both a competent helmsperson and sailing crew (c420 doublehanded sailing platform) and to become completely independent when sailing our singlehanded platform (BIC and Laser Radial). Longer time on the water, greater independence and the ability to sail from point to point will be emphasized. The fundamentals of racing will be introduced in this session. You need not have attended the Beginner Sailing Class to be eligible for Intermediate Sailing Class. Our instructors will evaluate each student’s sailing skill set and determine the appropriate class for the greatest enjoyment and learning.

Students should dress for the weather, as we will sail in all safe weather conditions and wind speeds appropriate for each student’s skill set. Suggested gear includes a pair of sailing gloves, dinghy boots, thermal clothing (such as Under Armour or fleece), and a waterproof outer layer. Type III PFD is mandatory while out on the water or MYC docks. Hat, sunscreen, sunglasses and a change of clothing are recommended. Opportunities to pair students with MYC members for extended day sailing on larger vessels with their MYC Coach will be explored.

Sailing platform may include Laser, BIC and C420

Note: All students are required to pass a swim test the first day of class. A change of clothing is needed for the remainder of the day.

MYC will offer a limited lunch menu for students. Parents will be required to set up a temporary account in advance if their child wishes to take part in the lunch program. Effective June 1, a link will be made available to complete the temporary application process. Once an account is established, every parent will be able to view charges and process their payments through MYC website. Only credit card payments will be accepted and are subject to a 2.5% fee. Parents are able to directly enter their credit card information for processing.

Full payment will be due at the end of the each student’s session.
