Melbourne Yacht
Club Sailing Program
2011
The above sailing classes are
offered by Melbourne Yacht club and are open to the public
on a space available basis; pre-registration and a deposit
are required for all classes. Class size is limited and the
sessions fill early.
To provide sailing skills to as
many students as possible, each student may be pre-enrolled
in only one session per year. Just prior to the next
session inquiry may be made as to available space in the
succeeding session, and enroll then, if space is available.
For the safety, enjoyment and
education of all students the minimum age is 8 years in the
youth classes and 18 years in the adult class. Classes
include instruction materials and use of MYC Optimist Prams
and 420's in the youth sessions and the 420 collegiate
sailboats for the adult sessions. There are generally 2
students per boat.
Safety is important at MYC. Each
student must wear a student-supplied life jacket with a
whistle attached when on or around the water. Students
should not be afraid of the water and must be able to swim.
The student’s life jacket should be the type that keeps the
shoulders mobile and does not have a large bulk of material
at the neck; no "May West" style jackets please. The
preferred style of life jacket (PFD) for sailing is the type
used by kayakers' or other water sports. Ensure that the
jacket fits the student comfortably while in the sitting
position, is easy to get into and will support the student
when worn in the water. Students must wear foot gear that
will get wet and muddy getting into and out of the boats;
inexpensive beach shoes are perfect.
Additional youth information:
As the proper rigging and care of
boats is an important part of sailing, parents are
encouraged to assist their student at the start and end of
each class with rigging, de-rigging, cleaning and storage of
the boat and gear they used (don't worry, we will teach
you). Boat placement of the youth student (Opti vs 420) is
at the discretion of the instructor, based on experience,
maturity and strength.
No refunds will be given if the
weather is bad, but classes will be rescheduled if possible.
