Youth Level 2 is the next step in a young sailor’s development and is available to kids 12-17 years old who have successfully completed a Youth Level 1 course at MCSC with an instructor’s recommendation to continue to Youth Level 2.

Youth Level 2 is designed to build on and refine sailing skills acquired in Level 1‚ through practice and additional on-the-water experience and deeper skills instructions. Students will sail aboard a variety of boats‚ receiving instruction and cross training in a variety of roles including sail trimmer‚ bow-person‚ driver and pit/mast position. Depending on conditions‚ spinnaker handling may be introduced.

Like sailing in general‚ which is unpredictable‚ Level 2 students can expect to repeat this course -- learning new things each time -- on the way to a "rating"‚ which‚ combined with a Youth Membership‚ opens access to student use of the Sailing Center’s fleet of Catalina centerboards doing opening sailing hours.
