420 Learn-To-Sail (420-LTS) Session 2

420 Learn-To-Sail (420-LTS) Session 2 is a 3-week half-day program that is tailored to the beginning sailor who has little or no doublehanded (420) sailing experience and/or the junior sailor with some experience who's not yet ready for the rigors of a full-day class.

For the 420 LTS class, sailors generally are 10-16 years old and weigh 100 lbs or more. In the LTS Program, sailors learn to properly rig/de-rig, care for and launch their boat, sail in and out of the harbor, dock their boat, sail comfortably and with confidence, capsize, and right the boat.

The class practices techniques such as sailing upwind and tacking, sailing downwind and gybing, and basic port-starboard right-of-way rules. By the end of LTS, sailors are practicing techniques such as beginner starts, rounding buoys, and sailing a short race course. Because sailors in 420-LTS are generally older and more mature, the pace in 420-LTS moves quicker than O-LTS. At the instructor's discretion, Learn to Sail participants can be invited to race in regattas.
