In these 8 lessons, you will get 26 hours of instruction spread along 2 intensive weeks. You can expect to learn the basics of CANSail 1-2 (that you will need to be able to check out Club Locarno Quests and Vanguards).

You will have the opportunity to tack, gybe, capsize, and practice rules of way on our Quests and Vanguards. You will practice rigging and launching, and learn your way through the clubroom, the logout system to check out boats and where to find sails and foils.

Intro to Racing - Sailing Lessons (Group MV1) (14 May 2026)

Fri, 15 May 2026 01:00:00 GMT

Intro to Racing - Sailing Lessons

Intro to Racing is a great way to learn the basics of racing, and is the course to take if you want to join the Jericho Tuesday evening/Sunday afternoon races, but aren’t comfortable joining by yourself.

We will cover the basics of racing:

how to start on a start line, how to round marks on a race course
different flags and countdown signals
navigating close and around other boats while following the rules
race strategy while you are sailing around the committee boat waiting for your race to start
Skills: how to adjust your sail shape with your sail controls in order to get more speed out of your sails depending on your angle to the wind and the wind conditions

Bonus - The following will depend on the wind, and the group of participants (and how overwhelmed with new information you already feel!), such as:

Bonus tactics: Sailing around the committee boat and start pin to get a point on the horizon to line up with the pin so during the start you know if you've crossed the line or not / Looking at the course to see which side has more wind than the other / Watching other boats already on the course to see what angles they are hitting / Looking at the tankers to see which way the current is going / Timing your approach to the start line
Bonus skills: balancing skills like roll tacks and rudderless sailing depending on wind conditions.

You will have ONE coached training session and then for TWO sessions you will be joining the Jericho Race on the Sunday noon and Tuesday evening, with your coach. This is a great way to participate in your first Jericho race with a coach present to assist you.

Prerequisites:

REQUIRED

Being a member at Club Locarno Sailing Fleet.
Having completed an equivalent of CANSail 2, Beginner or Refresher Lessons.
Having attended (or watched online) the Jericho Rookie Racing Seminar. There will be a quiz!
Recommended to maximize benefits of this training: 30 additional hours on water after CanSail 2 or Beginner Lessons, 10 additional hours on water after Refresher lessons.

Sessions:

Thursday evening: 1800 - 2100 (3 hours).
Sunday noon: 1100 - 1500 (4 hours).
Tuesday evening: 1730 - 2030 (3 hours).

Intro to Racing - Sailing Lessons (Group MV2) (11 Jun 2026)

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:00:00 GMT

Intro to Racing - Sailing Lessons

We will cover the basics of racing:

how to start on a start line, how to round marks on a race course
different flags and countdown signals
navigating close and around other boats while following the rules
race strategy while you are sailing around the committee boat waiting for your race to start
Skills: how to adjust your sail shape with your sail controls in order to get more speed out of your sails depending on your angle to the wind and the wind conditions

Bonus - The following will depend on the wind, and the group of participants (and how overwhelmed with new information you already feel!), such as:

Bonus tactics: Sailing around the committee boat and start pin to get a point on the horizon to line up with the pin so during the start you know if you've crossed the line or not / Looking at the course to see which side has more wind than the other / Watching other boats already on the course to see what angles they are hitting / Looking at the tankers to see which way the current is going / Timing your approach to the start line
Bonus skills: balancing skills like roll tacks and rudderless sailing depending on wind conditions.

Prerequisites:

REQUIRED

Being a member at Club Locarno Sailing Fleet.
Having completed an equivalent of CANSail 2, Beginner or Refresher Lessons.
Having attended (or watched online) the Jericho Rookie Racing Seminar. There will be a quiz!
Recommended to maximize benefits of this training: 30 additional hours on water after CanSail 2 or Beginner Lessons, 10 additional hours on water after Refresher lessons.

Sessions:

Thursday evening: 1800 - 2100 (3 hours).
Sunday noon: 1100 - 1500 (4 hours).
Tuesday evening: 1730 - 2030 (3 hours).
