This program is a series of week long sailing camps. Students learn basic water safety and basic sailing techniques. The emphasis is learning to have fun safely on the water. The students sail on Phiney Bay using DeWitt Dinghies and Laser sailboats. Both these boats are Cat rigged, meaning that they have a single, un-stayed main sail. The students learn to rig and un-rig the boats at the outset of the program. This will be the sixth summer for the Program.
