SPRING OPTI SAILING

If you have always wanted to learn to sail, this is your chance  !! 
​KHYF offers a great sailing program, and you don’t have to be a  KHYC club member to participate. That means your friends can learn to sail with you. Think how much fun you can have sailing in the King Harbor basin and on the ocean.

Sailing is a special interest, if not a passion, that lasts a lifetime, and there is no better way to start than with the King Harbor Youth Foundation Sailing program. You learn a lot more than sailing, you will learn responsibility, self-sufficiency, independence, and teamwork. 

The OPTI SAILING classes are intended for kids (7-13) who are new to sailing or for sailors who have Summer Sailing experience in the Optimist dinghy.

Learn to Sail skills and practiced sailing is taught in groups of max 10 with classroom and on the water instruction.
Children solo sail in one person 8' dinghys called OPTIMIST boats.
​

OPTI 1:
Beginners will learn the basics of sailing, boat safety and seamanship skills.

OPTI 2:
Alumni and/or experienced sailors brush up on their basic sailing and learn to transition to the Green fleet by an introduction to  regatta racing skills.
Requirement:  Must have passed the OPTI 1 class. 
                       If sailor has experience but is not sure to qualify for OPTI 2, please contact the Director                           khyfdirector@gmail.com

​These classes are GREAT for children who enjoy sailing both in Summer and throughout the year and a good combination of learning to sail by yourself, fun sailing and racing and an excellent intro and step up to future
High School or Club sailing.

​Sailors can improve at their own pace as they become comfortable and confident with themselves in the sport.

 
*****SWIMTEST:
At the start of each session students are required to swim 20 yards from the dock (in the King Harbor basin) and back,  without a lifejacket. Then each student, while treating water, must put on their lifejacket. We do not compare stroke, style or speed but the swim test needs to be completed in the water of the dock. This is cold ocean water. If your sailor has concerns it is an idea to practice in the ocean at the beach. If the student does NOT want to take the swim test, he or she cannot participate in the camp curriculum and get on the boats.   
No refunds can be given if the student does not want to participate in the swim test.
