Students can be dropped off at Anguilla Youth Sailing Club in Sandy Ground, located across from The Pump House. Drop offs are not allowed earlier than 15 minutes before class time and students are to be picked up at the time of class completion. AYSC staff are not responsible for supervision of students before or after this time, as they will be preparing class equipment and materials. If you are interested in car-pooling, please note this on the registration form.

Classes will meet every day scheduled. Rigging, safety, equipment maintenance and other skills will be developed off the water on non-sailing days.

This class focuses on having fun while learning the basics of sailing, including identifying wind direction and puffs, rigging and launching, sailing a straight course, tacking or jibing around a buoy, recovery from a capsize and safety, and retrieving boats with the help of other classmates. In addition, youth will begin to learn knots, boat parts, basic sail trim, and will increase their confidence. They will also learn to assist others and treat their equipment with respect. Optimist sailboats are used for the sailing classes. Students are encouraged to repeat this course until they are comfortable enough to sail solo, building on their skills with each subsequent session before proceeding to Sailing 2.

Students taking this course should already be able to comfortably sail solo. In addition to continuing basic skills (see Sailing 1), students learn more advanced sailing theory, continue to develop skills of launching and landing, sailing in all points of sail and with proper sail trim, handling wind shifts and puffs, problem-solving and further developing communication skills. Students may be introduced to other sailboats in this class. Repeating this course is highly recommended as students will continue to develop their skills and knowledge with each subsequent session.

As students develop their skills, and if there is sufficient demand for a racing course, the AYSC will offer a once-a-week racing series. Prerequisites: Ability to sail well, fully independently, and written consent of the Anguilla Youth Sailing Club Program Director. Very limited instruction is given, as each youth will be concentrating on his or her own skills and technique. There will also be a focus on developing students’ abilities to compete in actual regattas.
