Introduction to Spinnaker (Group S1)

Learn to fly downwind!

The objective of this course is to develop the basic skills that can be used on either mono-hulls or cats when sailing a Spinnaker.

This course consists of three three-hour session led by a Cansail-certified instructor from MacSailing on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, from 1700 to 2000.

You will be learning on the RS500.

To be able to take and make the most of this course, you should have CANSail 2, CYA Bronze or equivalent experience, and at least 20 hours as skipper in a mono-hull or recreational catamaran.

Attendance at a RS500 rigging clinic (to learn to rig the spinnaker) would also be helpful.

In addition, you should refresh your knowledge by reviewing the instructional videos for RS500 Rigging Complete and RS500 Capsize on our website found here Sailing Documents and Links

The class will meet in the Locarno sailing club room.  Please try to arrive early and ready, so lessons can start on time.

Remember to bring a wetsuit and towel! Have a great class!
