Continuing to develop confidence on and off the water, students in the Intermediate Youth Sailing Program will build upon previously achieved sailing skills. By enhancing their experience via teamwork and heightened self-awareness, sailors will learn theoretical knowledge and general skills.
Theoretical knowledge of seamanship (i.e., knot tying, sails and lines, hull and rigging), navigation, emergency procedure (i.e., the international signal of distress), current, wind and land effects, and fundamental knowledge of equipment and use are some examples. Other general skills include roll tacking, jibing, sailing a windward leg, sailing a reach, sailing downwind, and proper sail/boat trim.
We create opportunities for people to learn and grow through sailing by providing facilities, sailing instruction, and access to the water for people of all socio-economic backgrounds, abilities and skill levels from novice to Olympian.
To provide San Francisco with a first rate community sailing center that provides universal access to and lifelong connections with the Bay.
