RACE TEAMS
Racing Team instruction is designed for junior sailors with demonstrated sailing ability at the intermediate or advanced levels. Two racing teams are available for Optimist Dinghy, and 420's/Laser. OPTI RACE TEAM Our Optimist Racing Team is designed for younger intermediate level sailors. For maximum skill development, Opti Race Team members are strongly encouraged to combine Race Team enrollment with Intermediate sailing class instruction. 420/LASER RACE TEAM Our 420 Racing Team is for the more advanced older sailor. 420’s are double-handed boats, this means when you come to the 420 team you are in a boat with another racer. Instructional content for each team will focus specifically on the development of skills necessary for competitive participation in racing that particular class of boat. This will include: racing safety, racing terminology, rules of racing, sail trim/boat handling for speed, starting tactics, mark rounding strategies, roll tacking, spinnaker handling and competitive spirit/team play. Additionally, racing team participants will have the opportunity to travel and represent AYC at various regattas throughout the season including the MIRC's (Maine Interclub Racing Circuit) on Wednesdays, and the Junior Olympic Regattas in July and August.
