Sand Point Adult Racing (SPARS) starts this year with this class! Come down and start racing. Our coach will take us to a regatta or two, and you'll be back on the team! This class meets twice a week for 3 weeks, and then once a week after that, in addition to Mon. Night Racing. You need to already know how to sail; this is for racing! Min. of 4, Maximum of 8. $250

Hobie 16
The Hobie 16 is among the quickest and most challenging boats we own, while also being an incredibly fun boat. It’s exactly that combination that makes this class sell out every summer. Sailors must weigh at least 80lbs to sail this boat. Minimum of 4, Maximum of 8. $250
July 7th -18th Mon., Wed., Fri.6:00-8:30
Mom (or Dad) and Me
Looking for a chance to sail with your child? We offer great family fun with some learning. The adult can be anyone, and the child should be between 5 and 9. This is real quality time that comes in quantity. The purpose of the class is to get everyone comfortable in the boats and working together. This is a weeklong class that meets from 9am-Noon. Min. 3, Max. 6 Parent/Child pairs. $250 per pair.
July 7 - July 16 M, W, F 6:00-8:30
Specialty Classes (One Time Lessons)
Refresher: Has it been a while since you got your feet wet? This class is designed for people who want to have a brief refresher in sailing before open sailing starts. We will go over rigging a Hunter 140, Tacking, Gybing, Landing and Leaving a Dock and Capsize recovery. At the end of the class students wishing to take the check out for the Hunter 140 will be given an opportunity to do so. Class is limited to 8 students, minimum is 4.
Adult Racing Speciality:Lesiurely sailing is a lot of fun. The sunsets, the comraderie, the gentle breezes... but you want more, don't you? You want to kick it up a big notch and challenge yourself to become a better sailor and to learn new skills. Well, start it here. Get the basics of rules and the basics of strategy, then come out every Monday night and get better and better and better... Limited to 12 students, minimum is 6..
Laser Sailing:Do you know how to sail, but are tired of waiting to find crew to go sailing? Want to go faster? Like being wet? The laser is for you. This boat is highly responsive, very fast, and a whole lot of fun. We will learn (or review) how to rig it, how to get it moving, and how to sail this great racing machine. Limited to 8 students, minimum is 4.
Hobie Waves: Some people say it's the logical evolution of the sail boat... the multi-hull. Come learn about the Hobie Waves and how these quick little boats can be the best things you've hopped on. They are quick and easy to sail and have room for friends. Limited to 6, minimum is 4.
Hobie 16: This course is designed to give people who already know how to sail a chance to use and check out in the Hobie 16. Some knowledge of Catamarans would be useful.
Safe Powerboat Handling:
We are offering two Youth Classes and two Adult Classes over the course of the summer. Our Powerboat program uses the US Sailing curriculum and is NASBLA approved (this means it gets you your license). We can also set up courses to meet your needs if you have at least 4 people interested.
A word about Powerboats:
The State of Washington has made Powerboat Licenses manditory for anyone under the age of 55 (as of last year) with a very generous phase-in program. While Sail Sand Point is a Small Boat Sailing Program, we also take powerboating very seriously.
Private Lessons are $100 for one or two people in a single boat. Additional boats can be added at $100 per boat. If you are interested, just call the office and we will set one up for you based on your schedule!
NOTES ON ADULT CLASSES:
• Anybody can take the beginner class, even if you aren't a beginner, it's always good to be coached!
° Weekday Classes meet from 6:00-8:30pm.
° 3-week classes meet Tuesday and Thursday.
• To take the intermediate class you should have enough sailing experience to maneuver the boat to where you want to go...
• The Hobie Cat class is for people who are very comfortable on a sailboat--you will probably be hanging on a wire!
• The "Mom and Me" classes are an opportunity for a parent/guardian to sail with a child. The class will be geared toward everyone having a good experience rather than getting as far as possible in sail training. You only need register yourself for this class, not your child.
