      <title>Waszp Checkout &amp; Lesson (Group W1) (16 May 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you a rare person who is new to our Sailing Fleet and already has experience sailing Waszp-like crafts, you can get checked out to use the club boats by registering for this event and choosing the "checkout only" ticket option.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For everyone else, this advanced lesson series is for Club Locarno members who are part of the Sailing Fleet. The Waszp is a foiling skiff, which is a fun challenge for experienced sailors. This lesson series will teach the basic skills necessary to get checked out into the Waszp buddy system (the ability to take the boat out for a solo sail requires a separate checkout after you have had some time on the water to further develop your skills).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.clublocarno.com/resources/July2024-6294.JPG" border="0"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Required sailing skill pre-requisites:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul style="margin-bottom: 1em !important;"&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Comfortable rigging and sailing a Laser (buddy sailing can be done with a Laser rather than requiring a motorized RIB)&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Experience using sail controls to quickly change your sail shape in light, medium, and heavy breeze&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p style="display: inline !important;"&gt;Good/Fast double handed sheeting&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Confidence in skippering a boat in 15+ knots of wind and in gusty conditions&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Comfortable/physically capable with repeatedly righting a capsized vessel for at least 20 minutes.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Well versed in Collision Regulations and/or Racing Rules of Sailing (you've ideally participated in several local races).&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Willingness to adhere to the approximately 30 minutes of pre/post flight checks required every time before/after sailing the WASZP.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Ability to approach the challenge of foiling with a growth mindset.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;A demonstrated ability to make good judgement calls before launching and while sailing to prioritize safety of the sailor and vessel.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This lesson series includes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Day 1: 6.5-hour lesson with a Mac Sailing Instructor&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li style="list-style: none; display: inline"&gt;
      &lt;ul style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;
        &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Introduction to the theory behind foiling&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;Introduction to the parts of the Waszp&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;How to rig, launch, and land the Waszp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Sailing the Waszp with one wing touching the water&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Sailing the Waszp in displacement mode with both wings dry&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Accelerating the boat to achieve first straight line flights&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Displacement tacking and gybing&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;Discuss how a motorized RIB needs to approach a Waszp in order to wing up (in the event of a rescue, the member will have to instruct the driver how to do this).&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Day 2: a &lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;6-hour&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; session with a Club Locarno Waszp captain or volunteer&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;learning the Locarno Buddy System procedures&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;a buddy sail (with a Laser and also a RIB depending on number of registrants)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Practicing all the skills from the lesson&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;All participants will get a chance to practice launching and landing the Waszp in a buddy system setting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;How to switch sailors between a Laser and Waszp during a buddy sail&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;To maximize your time on the water during the lesson, please watch this &lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;rigging video&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; before attending the lesson.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF90Yz48eJ4" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF90Yz48eJ4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Documents outlining Waszp procedures can be found on the Club Locarno website following this pathway: Sail &amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;Sailing Documents and Links&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.clublocarno.com/Sailing-Documents-and-Links"&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;&lt;font color="#1155CC" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;https://www.clublocarno.com/Sailing-Documents-and-Links&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Registration closes 48 hours before the lesson.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;A lesson will run even if only 1 person registers. If the lesson is not full within 48 hours of the lesson, any Waszp fleet member who has taken a lesson in the past is welcome to join the lesson for free.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;There are no refunds for missed lessons.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Members can make up a lesson ONLY IF the instructor agrees, there is another set of lessons of the same type already scheduled, and there is space in the lesson. All of this is to be discussed between the Mac Sailing instructor and the participant.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>Intro to Racing - Sailing Lessons (Group VR1) (17 May 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span id="eventDetailsHeader_eventTitle"&gt;Intro to Racing - Sailing Lessons&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;We will cover the basics of racing:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;how to start on a start line, how to round marks on a race course&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;different flags and countdown signals&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;navigating close and around other boats while following the rules&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;race strategy while you are sailing around the committee boat waiting for your race to start&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;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&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus -&lt;/strong&gt; The following will depend on the wind, and the group of participants (and how overwhelmed with new information you already feel!), such as:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;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&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Bonus skills: balancing skills like roll tacks and rudderless sailing depending on wind conditions.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisites:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REQUIRED&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Being a member at Club Locarno Sailing Fleet.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Having completed an equivalent of CANSail 2, Beginner or Refresher Lessons.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Having attended (or watched online) the &lt;a href="https://youtu.be/HHwUud7o6GI" target="_blank"&gt;Jericho Rookie Racing Seminar&lt;/a&gt;. There will be a quiz!&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sessions:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Friday evening:&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;1800 - 2100 (3 hours).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Sunday noon:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;1100 - 1500&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;(4 hours).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;Registration closes 48 hours before the first class.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;Cancellations must be done at least 5 days before the first lesson, by email&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:sailinglessons@clublocarno.com" target="_blank"&gt;sailinglessons@clublocarno.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Refresher Sailing Lessons (Group MR1) (18 May 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span id="eventDetailsHeader_eventTitle"&gt;Refresher Sailing Lessons&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;In these 9 hours, you will review the basics of&amp;nbsp; CANSail 1-2 sailing to refresh your memory,&amp;nbsp; practice rules of way, capsize and recovery, gain confidence rigging and launching RS Quests and Vanguards, and learn your way through the clubroom: the logout system to check out boats and where to find sails and foils.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisites:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;This is NOT a beginner lesson and it is designed for people who have already sailed more than 20 hours at the helm.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Ideally, participants should have completed Level 1 and Level 2 or a previous beginner lesson series.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Review the rigging instructions for RS Quests and Vanguards from Locarno Sailing documents online&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sessions:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Monday evening:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 1800-2100 (3 hours).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Wednesday evening:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span data-wacopycontent="1"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" data-wacopycontent="1"&gt;1800-2100 (3 hours).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Thursday evening:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;span data-wacopycontent="1"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" data-wacopycontent="1"&gt;1800-2100 (3 hours).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;Registration closes 2 days before the first class.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;Cancellations must be done at least 5 days before the first lesson, by email&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:sailinglessons@clublocarno.com" target="_blank"&gt;sailinglessons@clublocarno.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Tuesday Social Sailing/Racing (19 May 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tuesdays Social Sailing/Racing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;This is a member run, weekly sailing together.&amp;nbsp; It's the best environment to practice your sailing skills, push your limits, and meet other sailors.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;We’ll match more and less experienced sailors in Quests, Vanguards &amp;amp; Tasars. Some boats will participate in the Jericho Tuesday races while other boats will just sail.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;We’ll have some social time afterwards to connect and share the stories and lessons of the day.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;We'll meet at 5pm at the Locarno boats’ aisle for a 5:45 launch.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;New sailors are most welcome. More experienced members are invited to mentor you and facilitate your sailing learning curve.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Please &lt;strong&gt;register&lt;/strong&gt; for the event&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;, and cancel if you can't make it.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000018" face="BlinkMacSystemFont, -apple-system, Helvetica Neue, Roboto, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Check the #sailing-locarno Slack channel for updates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Weather permitting - we'll cancel the sailing if winds are higher than 20 knots, but we’ll practice the rigging and unrigging of the boat.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Sailors will sail the boats they are currently checked out.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Intro to Racing - Sailing Lessons (Group VR1) (19 May 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span id="eventDetailsHeader_eventTitle"&gt;Intro to Racing - Sailing Lessons&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;We will cover the basics of racing:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;how to start on a start line, how to round marks on a race course&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;different flags and countdown signals&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;navigating close and around other boats while following the rules&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;race strategy while you are sailing around the committee boat waiting for your race to start&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;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&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus -&lt;/strong&gt; The following will depend on the wind, and the group of participants (and how overwhelmed with new information you already feel!), such as:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;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&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Bonus skills: balancing skills like roll tacks and rudderless sailing depending on wind conditions.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisites:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REQUIRED&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Being a member at Club Locarno Sailing Fleet.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Having completed an equivalent of CANSail 2, Beginner or Refresher Lessons.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Having attended (or watched online) the &lt;a href="https://youtu.be/HHwUud7o6GI" target="_blank"&gt;Jericho Rookie Racing Seminar&lt;/a&gt;. There will be a quiz!&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>Waszp Checkout &amp; Lesson (Group W1) (23 May 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you a rare person who is new to our Sailing Fleet and already has experience sailing Waszp-like crafts, you can get checked out to use the club boats by registering for this event and choosing the "checkout only" ticket option.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For everyone else, this advanced lesson series is for Club Locarno members who are part of the Sailing Fleet. The Waszp is a foiling skiff, which is a fun challenge for experienced sailors. This lesson series will teach the basic skills necessary to get checked out into the Waszp buddy system (the ability to take the boat out for a solo sail requires a separate checkout after you have had some time on the water to further develop your skills).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.clublocarno.com/resources/July2024-6294.JPG" border="0"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Required sailing skill pre-requisites:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul style="margin-bottom: 1em !important;"&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Comfortable rigging and sailing a Laser (buddy sailing can be done with a Laser rather than requiring a motorized RIB)&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Experience using sail controls to quickly change your sail shape in light, medium, and heavy breeze&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p style="display: inline !important;"&gt;Good/Fast double handed sheeting&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Confidence in skippering a boat in 15+ knots of wind and in gusty conditions&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Comfortable/physically capable with repeatedly righting a capsized vessel for at least 20 minutes.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Well versed in Collision Regulations and/or Racing Rules of Sailing (you've ideally participated in several local races).&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Willingness to adhere to the approximately 30 minutes of pre/post flight checks required every time before/after sailing the WASZP.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Ability to approach the challenge of foiling with a growth mindset.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;A demonstrated ability to make good judgement calls before launching and while sailing to prioritize safety of the sailor and vessel.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This lesson series includes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Day 1: 6.5-hour lesson with a Mac Sailing Instructor&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li style="list-style: none; display: inline"&gt;
      &lt;ul style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;
        &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Introduction to the theory behind foiling&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;Introduction to the parts of the Waszp&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;How to rig, launch, and land the Waszp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Sailing the Waszp with one wing touching the water&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Sailing the Waszp in displacement mode with both wings dry&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Accelerating the boat to achieve first straight line flights&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Displacement tacking and gybing&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;Discuss how a motorized RIB needs to approach a Waszp in order to wing up (in the event of a rescue, the member will have to instruct the driver how to do this).&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Day 2: a &lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;6-hour&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; session with a Club Locarno Waszp captain or volunteer&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li style="list-style: none; display: inline"&gt;
      &lt;ul style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;
        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;the mandatory clubroom and sailing orientation checkout&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;learning the Locarno Buddy System procedures&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;a buddy sail (with a Laser and also a RIB depending on number of registrants)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Practicing all the skills from the lesson&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;All participants will get a chance to practice launching and landing the Waszp in a buddy system setting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;How to switch sailors between a Laser and Waszp during a buddy sail&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;To maximize your time on the water during the lesson, please watch this &lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;rigging video&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; before attending the lesson.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF90Yz48eJ4" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF90Yz48eJ4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Documents outlining Waszp procedures can be found on the Club Locarno website following this pathway: Sail &amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;Sailing Documents and Links&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.clublocarno.com/Sailing-Documents-and-Links"&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;&lt;font color="#1155CC" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;https://www.clublocarno.com/Sailing-Documents-and-Links&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Registration closes 48 hours before the lesson.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;A lesson will run even if only 1 person registers. If the lesson is not full within 48 hours of the lesson, any Waszp fleet member who has taken a lesson in the past is welcome to join the lesson for free.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;There are no refunds for missed lessons.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Members can make up a lesson ONLY IF the instructor agrees, there is another set of lessons of the same type already scheduled, and there is space in the lesson. All of this is to be discussed between the Mac Sailing instructor and the participant.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>Laser and Tasar Discovery (Group LT1) (25 May 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Laser and Tasar Discovery&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;In these 9 hours, we include rigging clinics for Lasers and Tasars and&amp;nbsp; an on-water checkout for sailors already checked out on Quest/V15. *The last 30 min of each session will focus on derigging, storing spars and debrief on shore.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisites:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Being a member at Club Locarno. Yes, all Club Locarno members can join!*&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Ideally, you have completed an equivalent of CANSail 1 or 2 in the past&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;You should be checked out in the Vanguards and/or Quests&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Plus 20 hours sailing Quests and/or Vanguards at the helm is a firm requirement for using the Lasers and Tasars.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;*you do not need to be part of the Sailing Fleet to take these sailing lessons but you do need a Sailing Fleet membership to attempt a checkout.

      <title>Waszp Checkout &amp; Lesson (Group W2) (30 May 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you a rare person who is new to our Sailing Fleet and already has experience sailing Waszp-like crafts, you can get checked out to use the club boats by registering for this event and choosing the "checkout only" ticket option.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For everyone else, this advanced lesson series is for Club Locarno members who are part of the Sailing Fleet. The Waszp is a foiling skiff, which is a fun challenge for experienced sailors. This lesson series will teach the basic skills necessary to get checked out into the Waszp buddy system (the ability to take the boat out for a solo sail requires a separate checkout after you have had some time on the water to further develop your skills).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.clublocarno.com/resources/July2024-6294.JPG" border="0"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Required sailing skill pre-requisites:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul style="margin-bottom: 1em !important;"&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Comfortable rigging and sailing a Laser (buddy sailing can be done with a Laser rather than requiring a motorized RIB)&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Experience using sail controls to quickly change your sail shape in light, medium, and heavy breeze&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p style="display: inline !important;"&gt;Good/Fast double handed sheeting&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Confidence in skippering a boat in 15+ knots of wind and in gusty conditions&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Comfortable/physically capable with repeatedly righting a capsized vessel for at least 20 minutes.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Well versed in Collision Regulations and/or Racing Rules of Sailing (you've ideally participated in several local races).&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Willingness to adhere to the approximately 30 minutes of pre/post flight checks required every time before/after sailing the WASZP.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Ability to approach the challenge of foiling with a growth mindset.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;A demonstrated ability to make good judgement calls before launching and while sailing to prioritize safety of the sailor and vessel.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This lesson series includes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Day 1: 6.5-hour lesson with a Mac Sailing Instructor&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li style="list-style: none; display: inline"&gt;
      &lt;ul style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;
        &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Introduction to the theory behind foiling&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;Introduction to the parts of the Waszp&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;How to rig, launch, and land the Waszp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Sailing the Waszp with one wing touching the water&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Sailing the Waszp in displacement mode with both wings dry&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Accelerating the boat to achieve first straight line flights&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Displacement tacking and gybing&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;Discuss how a motorized RIB needs to approach a Waszp in order to wing up (in the event of a rescue, the member will have to instruct the driver how to do this).&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Day 2: a &lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;6-hour&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; session with a Club Locarno Waszp captain or volunteer&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li style="list-style: none; display: inline"&gt;
      &lt;ul style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;
        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;the mandatory clubroom and sailing orientation checkout&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;learning the Locarno Buddy System procedures&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;a buddy sail (with a Laser and also a RIB depending on number of registrants)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Practicing all the skills from the lesson&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;All participants will get a chance to practice launching and landing the Waszp in a buddy system setting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;How to switch sailors between a Laser and Waszp during a buddy sail&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;To maximize your time on the water during the lesson, please watch this &lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;rigging video&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; before attending the lesson.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF90Yz48eJ4" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF90Yz48eJ4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Documents outlining Waszp procedures can be found on the Club Locarno website following this pathway: Sail &amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;Sailing Documents and Links&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.clublocarno.com/Sailing-Documents-and-Links"&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;&lt;font color="#1155CC" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;https://www.clublocarno.com/Sailing-Documents-and-Links&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Registration closes 48 hours before the lesson.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;A lesson will run even if only 1 person registers. If the lesson is not full within 48 hours of the lesson, any Waszp fleet member who has taken a lesson in the past is welcome to join the lesson for free.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;There are no refunds for missed lessons.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Members can make up a lesson ONLY IF the instructor agrees, there is another set of lessons of the same type already scheduled, and there is space in the lesson. All of this is to be discussed between the Mac Sailing instructor and the participant.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;It is for sailors who want to be cleared to use the Vanguard fleet; it is also a great refresher.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Nacra 500 (Level 1 Recreational Catamaran) - Rigging clinic and DRY CHECKOUT - RC2 (30 May 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the boat&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;The Nacra 500 Fun is perfect for recreational sailing but can also be used for local club racing. At the Nacra family we also call this boat the ‘pocket rocket’. It’s a simple but really quick catamaran and easy to maneuver in different kind of waves with the large buoyant hulls. Launching from the beach is easy with the kick-up rudders and the skeg hulls. All working gear is from Harken, just like the other Nacra leisure boats.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Next to all the features of the Nacra 500 Fun, the Sport edition has a larger battened MNX jib which reaches down to the spinnaker pole. Giving the boat more power lower down, more drive and less heel. The Nacra 500 Sport also comes without dagger boards and a simpler hull construction which saves weight and gains more speed. The 17 square nylon spinnaker packs in a cloth chute with glass fibre entry, making it easy to launch and recover. All in all, the Naca 500 Sport is in perfect balance and enables you to drive fast upwind and downwind.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.clublocarno.com/resources/Pictures/Sailing/500-2.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the event&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;This clinic includes&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;Part 1&lt;/u&gt; and &lt;u&gt;Part 2&lt;/u&gt; of the checkout. It is for experienced sailors who want to be cleared to use a new fleet; it is also a great refresher. For those who are doing their first checkout, it will include an orientation to the sailing fleet and club room.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;The on-water checkout (&lt;a href="https://www.clublocarno.com/sys/website/system-pages/?pageId=1840967" target="_blank"&gt;Part 3&lt;/a&gt;); will require a separate registration.&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A"&gt;D&lt;/font&gt;etails of our checkout clinics can be found at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.clublocarno.com/page-1277410"&gt;Sailing Orientations and Checkout Clinics&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisites&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;All checkout participants must know how to sail and preferably have experience on cats or an a similar boat class. It is important that all participants review the online rigging instructions and videos. In particular, know how the hooks on jib and main function and how to release them.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is an introductory course for beginners. At the end of the course you will have the option to attempt a Checkout in the monohull fleet of your choice.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;In these 8 lessons, you will get 26 hours of instruction spread along 2 intensive weeks. You can expect to learn the basics of&amp;nbsp; CANSail 1-2 (that you will need to be able to check out Club Locarno Quests and Vanguards).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;During the lessons you will practice sailing techniques while learning about sail controls, rules of way, local geography, weather and wind pattern to expect in English Bay. 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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The goal of the Beginner Sailing Lessons is to confidently check-out and safely skip the first level of Club Locarno monohulls.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Waszp Checkout &amp; Lesson (Group W2) (06 Jun 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you a rare person who is new to our Sailing Fleet and already has experience sailing Waszp-like crafts, you can get checked out to use the club boats by registering for this event and choosing the "checkout only" ticket option.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For everyone else, this advanced lesson series is for Club Locarno members who are part of the Sailing Fleet. The Waszp is a foiling skiff, which is a fun challenge for experienced sailors. This lesson series will teach the basic skills necessary to get checked out into the Waszp buddy system (the ability to take the boat out for a solo sail requires a separate checkout after you have had some time on the water to further develop your skills).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.clublocarno.com/resources/July2024-6294.JPG" border="0"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Required sailing skill pre-requisites:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul style="margin-bottom: 1em !important;"&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Comfortable rigging and sailing a Laser (buddy sailing can be done with a Laser rather than requiring a motorized RIB)&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Experience using sail controls to quickly change your sail shape in light, medium, and heavy breeze&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p style="display: inline !important;"&gt;Good/Fast double handed sheeting&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Confidence in skippering a boat in 15+ knots of wind and in gusty conditions&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Comfortable/physically capable with repeatedly righting a capsized vessel for at least 20 minutes.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Well versed in Collision Regulations and/or Racing Rules of Sailing (you've ideally participated in several local races).&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Willingness to adhere to the approximately 30 minutes of pre/post flight checks required every time before/after sailing the WASZP.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Ability to approach the challenge of foiling with a growth mindset.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;A demonstrated ability to make good judgement calls before launching and while sailing to prioritize safety of the sailor and vessel.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This lesson series includes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Day 1: 6.5-hour lesson with a Mac Sailing Instructor&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li style="list-style: none; display: inline"&gt;
      &lt;ul style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;
        &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Introduction to the theory behind foiling&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;Introduction to the parts of the Waszp&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;How to rig, launch, and land the Waszp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Sailing the Waszp with one wing touching the water&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Sailing the Waszp in displacement mode with both wings dry&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Accelerating the boat to achieve first straight line flights&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Displacement tacking and gybing&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;Discuss how a motorized RIB needs to approach a Waszp in order to wing up (in the event of a rescue, the member will have to instruct the driver how to do this).&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Day 2: a &lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;6-hour&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; session with a Club Locarno Waszp captain or volunteer&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;the mandatory clubroom and sailing orientation checkout&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;learning the Locarno Buddy System procedures&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;a buddy sail (with a Laser and also a RIB depending on number of registrants)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Practicing all the skills from the lesson&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;All participants will get a chance to practice launching and landing the Waszp in a buddy system setting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;How to switch sailors between a Laser and Waszp during a buddy sail&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;To maximize your time on the water during the lesson, please watch this &lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;rigging video&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; before attending the lesson.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF90Yz48eJ4" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF90Yz48eJ4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Documents outlining Waszp procedures can be found on the Club Locarno website following this pathway: Sail &amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;Sailing Documents and Links&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.clublocarno.com/Sailing-Documents-and-Links"&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;&lt;font color="#1155CC" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;https://www.clublocarno.com/Sailing-Documents-and-Links&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Registration closes 48 hours before the lesson.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;A lesson will run even if only 1 person registers. If the lesson is not full within 48 hours of the lesson, any Waszp fleet member who has taken a lesson in the past is welcome to join the lesson for free.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;There are no refunds for missed lessons.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Members can make up a lesson ONLY IF the instructor agrees, there is another set of lessons of the same type already scheduled, and there is space in the lesson. All of this is to be discussed between the Mac Sailing instructor and the participant.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span id="eventDetailsHeader_eventTitle"&gt;Beginner Sailing Lessons&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is an introductory course for beginners. At the end of the course you will have the option to attempt a Checkout in the monohull fleet of your choice.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;In these 8 lessons, you will get 26 hours of instruction spread along 2 intensive weeks. You can expect to learn the basics of&amp;nbsp; CANSail 1-2 (that you will need to be able to check out Club Locarno Quests and Vanguards).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;During the lessons you will practice sailing techniques while learning about sail controls, rules of way, local geography, weather and wind pattern to expect in English Bay. 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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The goal of the Beginner Sailing Lessons is to confidently check-out and safely skip the first level of Club Locarno monohulls.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;

      <title>Intro to Racing - Sailing Lessons (Group VR2) (12 Jun 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span id="eventDetailsHeader_eventTitle"&gt;Intro to Racing - Sailing Lessons&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;We will cover the basics of racing:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;how to start on a start line, how to round marks on a race course&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;different flags and countdown signals&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;navigating close and around other boats while following the rules&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;race strategy while you are sailing around the committee boat waiting for your race to start&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;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&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus -&lt;/strong&gt; The following will depend on the wind, and the group of participants (and how overwhelmed with new information you already feel!), such as:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;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&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Bonus skills: balancing skills like roll tacks and rudderless sailing depending on wind conditions.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisites:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REQUIRED&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Being a member at Club Locarno Sailing Fleet.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Having completed an equivalent of CANSail 2, Beginner or Refresher Lessons.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Having attended (or watched online) the &lt;a href="https://youtu.be/HHwUud7o6GI" target="_blank"&gt;Jericho Rookie Racing Seminar&lt;/a&gt;. There will be a quiz!&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sessions:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Friday evening:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;1800 - 2100 (3 hours).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Sunday noon:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;1100 - 1500&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;(4 hours).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

      <title>Waszp Checkout &amp; Lesson (Group W3) (13 Jun 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you a rare person who is new to our Sailing Fleet and already has experience sailing Waszp-like crafts, you can get checked out to use the club boats by registering for this event and choosing the "checkout only" ticket option.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For everyone else, this advanced lesson series is for Club Locarno members who are part of the Sailing Fleet. The Waszp is a foiling skiff, which is a fun challenge for experienced sailors. This lesson series will teach the basic skills necessary to get checked out into the Waszp buddy system (the ability to take the boat out for a solo sail requires a separate checkout after you have had some time on the water to further develop your skills).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.clublocarno.com/resources/July2024-6294.JPG" border="0"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Required sailing skill pre-requisites:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul style="margin-bottom: 1em !important;"&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Comfortable rigging and sailing a Laser (buddy sailing can be done with a Laser rather than requiring a motorized RIB)&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Experience using sail controls to quickly change your sail shape in light, medium, and heavy breeze&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p style="display: inline !important;"&gt;Good/Fast double handed sheeting&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Confidence in skippering a boat in 15+ knots of wind and in gusty conditions&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Comfortable/physically capable with repeatedly righting a capsized vessel for at least 20 minutes.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Well versed in Collision Regulations and/or Racing Rules of Sailing (you've ideally participated in several local races).&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Willingness to adhere to the approximately 30 minutes of pre/post flight checks required every time before/after sailing the WASZP.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Ability to approach the challenge of foiling with a growth mindset.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;A demonstrated ability to make good judgement calls before launching and while sailing to prioritize safety of the sailor and vessel.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;Discuss how a motorized RIB needs to approach a Waszp in order to wing up (in the event of a rescue, the member will have to instruct the driver how to do this).&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Day 2: a &lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;6-hour&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; session with a Club Locarno Waszp captain or volunteer&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Practicing all the skills from the lesson&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;All participants will get a chance to practice launching and landing the Waszp in a buddy system setting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

      &lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;To maximize your time on the water during the lesson, please watch this &lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;rigging video&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; before attending the lesson.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF90Yz48eJ4" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF90Yz48eJ4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Documents outlining Waszp procedures can be found on the Club Locarno website following this pathway: Sail &amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;Sailing Documents and Links&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Registration closes 48 hours before the lesson.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;A lesson will run even if only 1 person registers. If the lesson is not full within 48 hours of the lesson, any Waszp fleet member who has taken a lesson in the past is welcome to join the lesson for free.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;There are no refunds for missed lessons.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Members can make up a lesson ONLY IF the instructor agrees, there is another set of lessons of the same type already scheduled, and there is space in the lesson. All of this is to be discussed between the Mac Sailing instructor and the participant.&lt;/li&gt;

      <title>Intro to Racing - Sailing Lessons (Group VR2) (14 Jun 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span id="eventDetailsHeader_eventTitle"&gt;Intro to Racing - Sailing Lessons&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;We will cover the basics of racing:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;how to start on a start line, how to round marks on a race course&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;different flags and countdown signals&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;navigating close and around other boats while following the rules&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;race strategy while you are sailing around the committee boat waiting for your race to start&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;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&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus -&lt;/strong&gt; The following will depend on the wind, and the group of participants (and how overwhelmed with new information you already feel!), such as:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;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&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Bonus skills: balancing skills like roll tacks and rudderless sailing depending on wind conditions.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisites:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REQUIRED&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Being a member at Club Locarno Sailing Fleet.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Having completed an equivalent of CANSail 2, Beginner or Refresher Lessons.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Having attended (or watched online) the &lt;a href="https://youtu.be/HHwUud7o6GI" target="_blank"&gt;Jericho Rookie Racing Seminar&lt;/a&gt;. There will be a quiz!&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sessions:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Friday evening:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;1800 - 2100 (3 hours).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Sunday noon:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;1100 - 1500&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;(4 hours).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span data-wacopycontent="1"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" data-wacopycontent="1"&gt;Tuesday evening:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;span data-wacopycontent="1"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" data-wacopycontent="1"&gt;1730 - 2030 (3 hours).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;Registration closes 48 hours before the first class.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;Cancellations must be done at least 5 days before the first lesson, by email&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:sailinglessons@clublocarno.com" target="_blank"&gt;sailinglessons@clublocarno.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;In these 9 hours, you will review the basics of&amp;nbsp; CANSail 1-2 sailing to refresh your memory,&amp;nbsp; practice rules of way, capsize and recovery, gain confidence rigging and launching RS Quests and Vanguards, and learn your way through the clubroom: the logout system to check out boats and where to find sails and foils.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisites:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Ideally, participants should have completed Level 1 and Level 2 or a previous beginner lesson series. This is NOT a beginner lesson and it is designed for people who have already sailed more than 20 hours at the helm.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Review the rigging instructions for RS Quests and Vanguards from Locarno Sailing documents online&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;*you do not need to be part of the Sailing Fleet to take these sailing lessons but you do need a Sailing Fleet membership to attempt a checkout.

  &lt;p&gt;In these 9 hours, you will review the basics of&amp;nbsp; CANSail 1-2 sailing to refresh your memory,&amp;nbsp; practice rules of way, capsize and recovery, gain confidence rigging and launching RS Quests and Vanguards, and learn your way through the clubroom: the logout system to check out boats and where to find sails and foils.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Waszp Checkout &amp; Lesson (Group W3) (20 Jun 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you a rare person who is new to our Sailing Fleet and already has experience sailing Waszp-like crafts, you can get checked out to use the club boats by registering for this event and choosing the "checkout only" ticket option.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For everyone else, this advanced lesson series is for Club Locarno members who are part of the Sailing Fleet. The Waszp is a foiling skiff, which is a fun challenge for experienced sailors. This lesson series will teach the basic skills necessary to get checked out into the Waszp buddy system (the ability to take the boat out for a solo sail requires a separate checkout after you have had some time on the water to further develop your skills).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.clublocarno.com/resources/July2024-6294.JPG" border="0"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Required sailing skill pre-requisites:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul style="margin-bottom: 1em !important;"&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Comfortable rigging and sailing a Laser (buddy sailing can be done with a Laser rather than requiring a motorized RIB)&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Experience using sail controls to quickly change your sail shape in light, medium, and heavy breeze&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p style="display: inline !important;"&gt;Good/Fast double handed sheeting&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Confidence in skippering a boat in 15+ knots of wind and in gusty conditions&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Comfortable/physically capable with repeatedly righting a capsized vessel for at least 20 minutes.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Well versed in Collision Regulations and/or Racing Rules of Sailing (you've ideally participated in several local races).&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Willingness to adhere to the approximately 30 minutes of pre/post flight checks required every time before/after sailing the WASZP.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Ability to approach the challenge of foiling with a growth mindset.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;A demonstrated ability to make good judgement calls before launching and while sailing to prioritize safety of the sailor and vessel.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This lesson series includes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Day 1: 6.5-hour lesson with a Mac Sailing Instructor&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li style="list-style: none; display: inline"&gt;
      &lt;ul style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;
        &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Introduction to the theory behind foiling&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;Introduction to the parts of the Waszp&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;How to rig, launch, and land the Waszp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Sailing the Waszp with one wing touching the water&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Sailing the Waszp in displacement mode with both wings dry&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Accelerating the boat to achieve first straight line flights&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Displacement tacking and gybing&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;Discuss how a motorized RIB needs to approach a Waszp in order to wing up (in the event of a rescue, the member will have to instruct the driver how to do this).&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Day 2: a &lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;6-hour&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; session with a Club Locarno Waszp captain or volunteer&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li style="list-style: none; display: inline"&gt;
      &lt;ul style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;
        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;the mandatory clubroom and sailing orientation checkout&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;learning the Locarno Buddy System procedures&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;a buddy sail (with a Laser and also a RIB depending on number of registrants)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;Practicing all the skills from the lesson&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;All participants will get a chance to practice launching and landing the Waszp in a buddy system setting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

        &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;How to switch sailors between a Laser and Waszp during a buddy sail&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;To maximize your time on the water during the lesson, please watch this &lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;rigging video&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; before attending the lesson.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF90Yz48eJ4" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF90Yz48eJ4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Documents outlining Waszp procedures can be found on the Club Locarno website following this pathway: Sail &amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;Sailing Documents and Links&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.clublocarno.com/Sailing-Documents-and-Links"&gt;&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_1"&gt;&lt;font color="#1155CC" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;https://www.clublocarno.com/Sailing-Documents-and-Links&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Registration closes 48 hours before the lesson.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;A lesson will run even if only 1 person registers. If the lesson is not full within 48 hours of the lesson, any Waszp fleet member who has taken a lesson in the past is welcome to join the lesson for free.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;There are no refunds for missed lessons.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Members can make up a lesson ONLY IF the instructor agrees, there is another set of lessons of the same type already scheduled, and there is space in the lesson. All of this is to be discussed between the Mac Sailing instructor and the participant.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
