Our Butterfly classes are designed for novice sailors who are too old to fit comfortably in an Opti and kids of any age who are ready to train on a larger and more complicated boat. Novice sailors will learn the basics of sailing, sailboat maneuvering and right of way, and, when ready, how to recover from a tip-over, sail upwind to the windward mark, and complete controlled tacks and jibes under a variety of wind conditions. Intermediate sailors will continue to build on their sailing skills, with special emphasis on techniques that safely maximize speed in a more sophisticated boat.
