Port Madison Yacht Club
Beginner Opti full day for age 10-13 to about 125 lbs.
A class for those with no previous experience, very limited experience, or those who need more time to develop confidence. At the end of Beginner Opti students are generally able to control a boat on their own on all points of sail, and have experience tacking, jibing, rigging their own boats, and sailing to and from the dock. Controlled capsize drills on a calm day are also a part of the curriculum and are considered a very fun part of the class by most students.
Requirements:
1. - Bainbridge Aquatic Center swim license or equivalent.
2. - All PMYC camps are "bring your own boat", but we do have Opti's avaiable to rent for an additional $50.00.
Camp runs 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM M-F (5 days)
This is a bring your own boat offering. If you do not have your own Opti, PMYC has boats to rent for this camp which adds $50.00 to the total cost.
