The Advanced Opti program will focus on intermediate and advanced elements of Optimist racing while refining boat handling skills and race theory. Advanced sailors learn about racing rules, tactics, sportsmanship and teamwork. They will have opportunities to compete at regattas and mentor more junior sailors. Sailors will also learn a variety of other sailing skills to complement any path they wish to pursue once graduating from the Optimist, including seamanship and personal boat maintenance. The team will participate at SMSC’s Bay Wind Regatta and LYC’s Sail Fest. Additional regattas may be attended. Following weekend regattas attended there will be no sailing on the Monday to allow for appropriate rest for sailors and coaches – regardless of regatta participation.

Advanced sailors are strongly encouraged to sail at least 4 weeks and participate in regattas.
