This course is designed to advance the skills of sailors with some experience, as well as to teach them the skills needed to become a DSC skipper*. An Intermediate Sailing course consists of one full weekend, Saturday and Sunday from 9 AM to 4:30 PM. An experienced instructor and up to four students are on the water in a Sonar or J/22. Sonars are 23-foot keelboats and J/22s are 22-foot keelboats, both of which are safe (non-capsizable), comfortable and fun.

Prerequisites: Knowledge and skills covered in Introduction to Sailing.

*Students who successfully complete an Intermediate Sailing course should spend at least 20 hours on the water actively practicing before scheduling a skipper check-out.
