NYC Optimist Easter Camp â 25th to 28th of March
The Optimist programme is offering a 4 days sailing camp at Easter from Monday 25th to Thursday 28th of April.Our plan is based on the NYCâs core values of family, friendship and sporting excellence.
We will be offering 3 levels.- start sailing: By the end of this course you will be sailing in light wind conditions with assistance from your instructor." The idea is to bring the sailor to a level where they are sailing independently in light airs.- basic skills: Sailors are offered greater independence in lighter airs and will be exposed to windier conditions as the course progresses. They will also begin to learn the essential manoeuvers required for dinghy sailing. Sailors will be given access to as broad a range of scenarios as possible as well as venturing further, more independently.- improving skills: By the end of this module, all sailors will be competent to launch, sail and recover their boat in moderate conditions. They will learn the essential seamanship manoeuvres and develop and understanding and appreciation for the weather, tides, and current.
