The Seabrook Sailing Club Youth Program is structured around “learn and sail” sessions in which children get hands-on sailing experience under the supervision of Youth Committee instructors and parent helpers during our Spring, Summer, and Fall clinics on Saturdays and Sundays. The program fosters self-confidence, independence, and responsibility, with the main goal of the program being to teach the young sailors to be completely comfortable and independent in a sailboat. The clinics will focus on sailing technique and skill, for example, rigging (beg/int), knot tying (beg/int), capsizing (beg/int), mark rounding (int), tacking (beg/int), jibing (int), and getting out of irons (beg/int). The clinics will also focus on sailing terminology, such as the points or sail (beg/int), or parts of the sailboat (beg/int).
We highly recommend signing up for as many as your child can attend in order to develop and retain their sailing skills.
