Sailing Instruction

The major feature of the clinic is the quality of instruction in a wide range of areas to enhance the boat handling techniques and yacht racing skills of Junior sailors. Juniors are divided into four basic groups: Novice, Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Classes usually consist of a “Chalk Talk” on land and then racing or drills on the water, supervised by instructors in motor boats. Most days this happens twice, once before lunch and once after lunch, depending on the wind and other factors. One day is usually reserved for the “Long Distance” race, when all the classes race to a sandy beach for a picnic lunch and race back. 

 Junior Camping

The Stockton Sailing Club continues to serve as the traditional venue for the clinic. Juniors will camp within the secure confines of the club, in tents on the lawn. Juniors provide their own tents and bedding.  Juniors will be required to stay in their designated tent area at night - they will not be allowed to stay on boats in the harbor. The SSC has nice bathroom and shower facilities.
