PMYC Sailing School 2026 | For the FUN of Sailing 

Opti II Class

Opti II sailors build on their foundational skills as they develop stronger upwind and downwind boat‑handling techniques. Sailing solo, they’ll refine control of the tiller and mainsheet while learning how body position influences balance, speed, and overall performance. Sailors in this program gain confidence navigating through Hidden Cove and venturing out into Port Madison.

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
