This 12-hour, on-the-water course expands upon the coursework of BASIC SAILING 101 and Advanced Sailing 161. It will engage you in the fun of advanced boat handling, optimum sail trim, and proficient helmsmanship. It also introduces you to spinnakers, the largest and most powerful sail on a yacht.
First you will learn sailing techniques that augment your racing skills, including effective boat handling techniques and helmsmanship. You will learn how to maintain optimum sail shape for various wind and sea conditions. More, you will learn the importance of boat balancing and rig adjustments to racing success.
Then we take you through all aspects of spinnaker work from packing and rigging to setting, jibing, dousing and maintaining control. While the spinnaker is reputed to the hardest sail to master, we will de-mystify this dynamic sail in a relaxed controlled atmosphere. Successful graduates will be an asset to any racing crew.
We offer three schedule options for Spinnakers and Speed 211. Weekends are morning or afternoon sessions Saturday/Sunday/Saturday of two consecutive weekends, 8:30 am - 12:30 pm or 1:00 - 5:00 pm. Weekday sessions run 5:30 - 8:30 pm, Tuesday and Thursday of two consecutive weeks.
