Youth Advanced – Treasure Island Sailing Center

Advanced

Students will continue to develop their sailing skills and prepare for racing. They become comfortable with on-the-water problem-solving, moving into a leadership role for the younger students by setting a good example, having a positive attitude, and being helpful in a constructive manner. General skills for this course are:

Backward sailing
Spinnaker
Rudderless sailing
Tuning sail controls
Understanding sail adjustments on each leg
Racing skills include starting tactics, using the wind to identify puffs, and reading a race course
Completing one day of racing
Once sailors have satisfactorily demonstrated specific nationally recognized sailing skills in the advanced course, they are ready to try out for the Junior Race Team.
