CLASS OPTIONS
Opti Beginner 1
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
The Opti Beginner class is for sailors in their first year of sailing and is designed to teach safety skills, terminology, rigging techniques and basics of how to sail. Sailors will master their skills on land before moving to the water and sailing independently. For those interested, beginner races are optional.
Opti Intermediate
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
Intended for those who have completed Opti Beginner, Opti Intermediate classes are designed to further the beginner class curriculum. Along with enhanced basic racing skills, intermediate sailors work on the mechanics of sailing and are encouraged to participate in HBC Saturday Series as well as the weekly island interclub races or other regattas, as recommended by their coach.
Sunfish Cruisers
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
The Sunfish Cruiser class is designed for older students who want to sail but not necessarily compete, or younger sailors interested in trying a different boat. Designed to build a lifelong love for sailing, this class operates at a less rigorous pace, with less focus on competition, although students are welcome - and even encouraged - to compete in HBC Saturday Series, or the weekly island interclub races.
