Club 420 Advanced

Club 420 Advanced sailors are students who have taken several weeks of the Club 420 Explorer sessions and have shown advanced sailing ability. The Club 420 Advanced session is for students who are not yet ready for racing but would like to continue working on more advanced skills and techniques. Sailors will continue to work on points of sail and boat control. There will be more advanced topics introduced such as spinnaker sailing, reading the wind/weather, and other more advanced boat handling techniques.
Students will be required to demonstrate their knowledge on the first day of class.  Anyone without enough experience will be moved to the Explorer class.

Ages 13 – 17
Prerequisite: 1-2 weeks of Club 420 Explorer

Every student will receive:

• The annual Saint Croix Sailing School T-Shirt.
• The Little Red Book.  The Little Red Book is US Sailing’s certification system.  As sailors progress, instructors will sign off on the skills mastered.
