WSA Class Schedule: Summer 2008

The Beginning classes will again be offered as 4 week sessions but those wishing the full 8 weeks, we will try to register together in the Beginner 2 class. This year we will also mix up morning and afternoon sessions so all classes have an opportunity to rig and de-rig boats — an essential skill for all sailors.

Beginner1 and Beginner2 are the same class, but meet at different times. There is NO distinction between the two classes based on skill level. The goal is to limit class size to 17 students and keep Beg. 2 as a full summer class, all 8 weeks.

Beginner 1 - Mon & Tues 9-noon, Wed. 1-4 pm - 4 weeks
Beginner 2 - Mon 1-4 pm, Wed. & Fri 9-noon - 8 weeks


Intermediates is intended for students moving up from beginners or more advanced students who are not yet ready or interested in racing. Students can paricipate in NBYA regattas if interested and instructor allows it. The goal is to limit class to 15 students and is intended to be all 8 weeks.

Intermediate - Tues & Fri 1-4 pm, Thurs. 9-noon - 8 weeks (or 1st 4 wk. only)


Opti Racers is generally where a sailor will move up to from Intermediates. It is intended for students who want to learn how to race and aspire to be on a racing team. Participation in NBYA regattas is encouraged for these students. They will meet 2 full days and a half day and will primarily use Optis. They may move into 420s as size and experience warrant.

Opti Racers - Tues & Wed. all day, Thurs. 1-4 pm


420 and Laser Racers are the highest skill level. Each class consists of advanced students who usually have already have some regatta experience. They are skilled enough to enjoy bay area regattas hosted by NBYA. They meet 3 full days and are instructed in either 2 person 420s or their personally owned Laser.

420 Racers - All day Tues, Thurs & Fri - 9am-4pm
Laser Racers - All day Mon, Wed & Thurs - 9am-4pm


Team Racing: Based on interest and schedule, some racers will contribute to the success of the Wickford program with interclub team racing.
