Sequoia Yacht Club does not have upcoming sessions on ActivityHero right now. We can send you an email when they do.
Sequoia Yacht Club Jr. El Toro offers sailing camp to the youth, during the Spring break in Redwood City, California. Our camp emphasizes on safety conscious FUN sailing, considering weather, tides, traffic, etc. at all times.
Besides learning general seamanship, like knots and equipment care, students learn boat nomenclature, rigging, boat handling, proper upwind sailing, tacking, downwind sailing, jibing, boat speed, racing tactics, sportsmanship and the rules of racing. We have three class levels in the program: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.
Close monitoring, instruction and guidance are provided on the water by a SYC Sailing Instructor riding on a safety boat. The kids are constantly close at hand, and are encouraged to not sail if they feel uneasy about it. Our motto is if in doubt, don't go out. This saying is stressed over and over again during the preliminary, on-shore chalk talks where we discuss safety and seamanship.
