Stage 4 – Green Fleet Racing
Overview
Green Fleet Racing is for kids who have completed the Start Sailing Course and the Squids Coaching program and have bought their first boat – a Sabot dinghy. It is the transitionary level between learn to sail programs and ongoing participation in club racing.
Green Fleet Racing is supervised by our Club Coach and is a combination of games / fun based sailing and "novice" racing. For example some time might be spent sailing to a destination (e.g. a permanent mark) and some time might be spent sailing around a course.
