The Courses The curriculum of the 15-hour courses, beginning, intermediate and advanced, meet standards established by US Sailing, the national governing authority. Students will spend between 60 and 75 percent of class time on the water developing their sailing skills. The other 25 to 40 percent will be spent learning sailing concepts in a classroom setting. All River Cities Community Sailing Program instructors have completed and passed US Sailing's Small Boat Instructor Course, developed by US Sailing and approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. 
What You Will Learn By the end of the course, students will have all points of sail, trimming its sail for speed and direction, safety skills ashore and afloat, the rules of the road; and learned docking maneuvers, to recognize weather patterns and to practice basic boating courtesies. Who Can Take Courses Youth courses are open to Kentuckiana boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 18. The adult course is available to all residents of Kentuckiana over the age of 18. All classes will operate out of Carrie Gaulbert Cox Park on River Road (look for our trailer). Some youth class sessions may be conducted at the lake at Long Run Park in eastern Jefferson County. Ideally the Program would like every student to be able to swim. However, in order not to exclude any children the minimum prerequisite will be to jump in the water and cover 25 yards using any stroke while wearing a life jacket. Adults may not need to meet this requirement. |
