Adult Learn To Sail
Beginning Sailing – Lido 1
Prerequisite: Participants must be at least 14 years old and able to
swim 50 yards.
Lido 1 Beginning Sailing is one of two entry-level sailing classes we
offer. The other option for beginners is our Harbor 20 Level 1 (see
page 7).
If you have never sailed before or just have a little experience sailing
with others, this is the class for you. You will learn basic sailing
skills and gain confidence through dockside lectures and hands-on
experience in Lido 14 dinghies. Dinghy sailing is a physical activity
and participants should have physical stamina, good balance and
be capable of moving about safely in the boat. Topics will include
sailing theory, points of sail, basic terminology, tacking, gybing, safety,
knots and docking. Eighty percent of class time is spent enjoying the
outdoors and sailing the Lidos within Newport Bay. Two students per
boat. Students must be 14 years old to participate in this class. Bring

Intermediate Lido (Lido 2)
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Beginning Sailing (Lido 1) or
equivalent dinghy sailing experience.
Now that you know basic sailing concepts Intermediate Lido (Lido 2)
will focus on skill development so you can sail faster and smarter with
greater confidence. With an emphasis on improving boat-handling
skills as both skipper and crew, refining sail trim and problem solving
afloat, you will spend most of your class time on the water practicing,
and expanding on, the skills you learned in Beginning Sailing. The
importance of balance and teamwork will become evident as you
learn how to maneuver without a rudder using only the sails and the
crew weight. Single-handed sailing will be introduced time permitting.
Upon successful completion of Intermediate Lido you will be ready to
move on to Harbor 20 Level 2 or Shields 1.
