Don't freak out! We use a waitlist for this class to be sure students
are qualified. If you're qualified, sign up on the waitlist, and we
will accept you in the class until we run out of space. You'll hear
from us.Students in this class should weigh about 100 pounds and will
learn advanced race theory and work towards advanced level regattas in
the Laser and 420 fleets. We teach advanced boat mechanics and
handling to students and beginner team racing. Students in this course
must come for two weeks, although attending all summer is common. They
will practice and act as a team, possibly holding fundraisers and
encouraging their teammates to succeed.
Regatta schedules post in early April, and all students in the class
will attend regattas during the week. Not only will all students
attend the regatta, but no instruction will take place at MRYC during
the regatta. The class fees include coaching at the regatta.
The daily schedule will likely change each day. Traveling to regattas
may mean prepping trailers in the evening, early morning rendezvous,
and meal stops on the way home. Coaches will communicate plans for
regattas and traveling. Instruction occurs at the Club when regattas
are not the day's activity.
An important part of being a racing sailor is organizing and packing
your gear to get to a regatta, rigging, and racing, and then reversing
the process to go home. Parents play an active role in transporting
boats and students. Parent regatta coordinators will help with
details.
