Youth Sailing Programs:
Hunter 140 Opti's 420's

MYC Youth Sailing - 420's

We have two 420 programs at MYC, and the club owns 6 boats sailors may use for class.



420 1 (minimum age 12) This is the introduction to Double-Handed Sailing. Sailors will be introduced to teamwork while sailing a high-powered sailboat. Again, gradual introduction is characteristic of this level.

420 2 (requires instructors permission) Further boat handling skills are introduced, including the use of hiking trapezes and spinnakers. The excitement of tactical “Team Racing� will also be taught. Sailors will be encouraged to participate in local regattas.  This is a great class to introduce students to the possibility of sailing in college. A weekly MYC racing series is also included.

Schedule: 420 1: Mon, Wed, Fri 9:30-12:00
420 2: Mon, Wed, Fri 1:30-4:30
