Are you returning to MYSF for another summer or have experience sailing independently and ready to take your Opti sailing to the next level? Our Green Fleet class is ideal for kids (ages 8-12) who want to have fun, grow their skills through independent sailing, and learn the basics of racing. This class explores introductory racing concepts like basic racing rules, starting sequences and simplified race courses. For those who feel ready, this class offers the opportunity to travel to local regattas with other youth sailors from around Wisconsin. Many MYSF students enroll in multiple Green Fleet sessions to create a summer full of sailing!
*Sailors in this class need to be comfortable with the idea of “single-handing” their boat. This involves controlling the sail and steering simultaneously. If your sailor is not quite ready to begin learning to single-hand, consider some more “tiller time” in the Beginner Optimist class before signing up for Green Fleet.
Recommended Ages: 8-14
Pre-requisites: Beginner Opti, previous summer of Green Fleet, other independent sailing experience
