Rock Stars
The Rock Stars class is a course designed for kids that are between the ages of 5-7 and are in their first or second year of sailing.  This class focuses on getting the kids comfortable on a boat and having fun on the water.  The class teaches the very beginning parts of
sailing, for example, the parts of the boat, how to dock a boat, learning how to pull and let the sail out, and potentially driving the boat off and on.  The class is set up where an instructor will accompany anywhere from 3-6 kids in a boat and sail around Mission Bay.  This is a great class for introducing kids to sailing..

Lil’ Puffs
The Lil’ Puffs class is a course designed to teach kids 6-8 years old how to sail a small boat.  In this class the students will be sailing a small boat called a Sabot, which is an 8 foot dinghy, around Mission Bay.  Often times the students will double up in a boat in order to feel comfortable and ease the responsibility aspect of sailing.  This is a great class for first time sailors and students that are interested in racing at a young age.

Beginning Double-Handed Sailing
The Beginning Double-Handed Sailing course is designed for kids between the ages of 12-17.  This is a course designed to teach students how to sail a double-handed boat, which has two sails and is 15 feet long.  The class is focused on teaching the students how to sail and generally incorporates racing at the end of the class.

Recreational Program
The Recreational Program is designed for kids that are not focused on the sailing aspect, but more into having fun on land.  This class is often occupied by students who need to be at the club in the morning and are waiting for the afternoon classes to start or students in the morning class and waiting to be picked up after the sailing program.  The Recreation Program will provide games and movies, as well as kayak and swimming times throughout the duration of each class.

Beginning Sabots
The Beginning Sabots class is a course designed for kids that are between the ages of 8-12 and are first time or former summer sailors.  This class is focused on fun and learning and is intended to introduce the kids to racing at the end of the course. C Fleet Racing
The C fleet racing class is designed for students that have already competed in regattas or are ready to compete. This class will teach the kids how to become a competitive racer. They will learn the more advanced skills and tactics of racing as well as doing drills and practice races. Students are expected to compete in some regattas as well as weekend clinics.

A & B Fleet Racing
The A and B fleet racing class is for the A and B fleet sailors only. This class is the most advanced Sabot class that we have to offer. In this class students will learn the technical aspects of sailing along with doing video work. There will be classroom talks about strategy and mechanics prior to going on the water everyday. Students are expected to compete in multiple regattas as well as weekend clinics.

Laser Sailing
This class is designed for students interested in learning the basic and intermediate techniques of sailing a Laser. This boat is the perfect transition from smaller Sabot to the much bigger Laser. In this class we will instruct the students on all the basics of the boat as well as boat handling, rigging, and an introduction to racing. The MBYC Junior’s have a limited amount of charter Lasers available, so having your own boat is recommended.

Recreational Program
The Recreational Program is designed for kids that are not focused on the sailing aspect, but more into having fun on land.  This class is often occupied by students who need to be at the club in the morning and are waiting for the afternoon classes to start or students in the morning class and waiting to be picked up after the sailing program.  The Recreation Program will provide games and movies, as well as kayak and swimming times throughout the duration of each class.

*For all Sabot and Laser classes you will need to
