Sunday Optimist Class
This class is for Optimist sailors who are looking to gain some extra practice on the weekends. We are open to hosting beginner students who have never sailed an Optimist before, as well as intermediate and advanced racers. Class structure depends on the level of experience, as well as participation at traveling events. Those who are just starting out in the Optimist are encouraged to eventually attend the Southern California Youth Yacht Racing (SCYYRA) events throughout the year.
- Taught in Optimist Racing Sailboats, which are used locally, regionally and nationally at regattas
- Use your own Opti, or use a DRYC provided boat ($500 per Fall / Spring Session)
- Students will practice upwind/downind sailing, starting sequences, mark rounding’s, rules, rigging, knot tying and general seamanship
- Practice will not be held during holidays, regattas, and special events
