Opti III Class

Sailors in the Opti III program continue building experience as they develop more advanced skills, emphasizing boat controls and introductory racing tactics. This is a great class for those wanting to learn the fundamentals of racing or for sailors preparing for the upcoming regatta season — especially those who already feel comfortable on the water and are eager for more challenge, speed, and strategy.

Class size is limited to 10 students. Please add your sailor to the waitlist, as we make every effort to accommodate interested students. Questions: Sailing School Registration
