  Welcome to the circus! In this course, sailors will explore the exciting world of trapezes and spinnakers through the RS Quest. This is the first step into the world of higher performance sailing where trapezing is a must and flying spinnaker adds exhilarating downwind flair to one's sail.

  Sailors will learn the basics of proper trapezing technique, spinnaker trim and boat handling, special gear care considerations, and effective skipper-crew communication. The RS Quest will provide a very friendly, stable learning platform before sailors step onto the skiffs and catamarans in future courses.

  Prerequisites:

  • be a UBCSC and JSCA club member for the current season
    
  • passed Intermediate Sailing with UBC Sailing
    
  • wetsuit: during lessons you will spend a lot more time in the water than you would in a regular relaxed sail

  Passing criteria (as per the A1 checklist):

  • sound judgement with regards to equipment care, crew experience and gear, weather and sea conditions

  • rigging/derigging, safe handling on the boat yard and on the water, well-controlled launch and landing
  • balance and speed control at all times with and without trapezing, with and without spinnaker, basic maneuvers including heave-to
  • emergency maneuvers such as man overboard, capsize recovery, spinnaker issues
  • time and conditions permitting, rudderless and backwards sailing

  Prerequisites:

  • be a UBCSC and JSCA club member for the current season
    
  • have been awarded "ready for A1/C1" by an instructor, for instance during a half-day skill test session
  • wetsuit: the Hobie 16 is a wet boat;  during lessons you will spend a lot more time in the water than you would in a regular relaxed sail

  Passing criteria (as per the C1 checklist):

  • sound judgement with regards to equipment care, crew experience and gear, weather and sea conditions

  • rigging/derigging, safe handling on the boat yard and on the water, well-controlled launch and landing
  • balance and speed control at all times with and without trapezing, basic maneuvers including heave-to
  • emergency maneuvers such as man overboard, capsize recovery in light winds with the help of a waterbag

  
  The Cat 1 course introduces members to multihull sailing on our Hobie 16s. Students learn the basics of sailing a catamaran while also being introduced to trapezing. The Hobie 16 makes for a fun introduction to catamaran sailing as it picks up good speed but is rather uncomplicated compared to our other catamarans.
  The main handling difficulties when moving up from intermediate monohulls are:
  - sailing upwind: tacks are slower and through a larger angle; one will easily end up in irons if not properly set close hauled before the tack, or mishandling the jib
  - the boat is stable and will keep sailing away in case of a man overboard
  - capsize recovery requires proper technique in higher winds, and can be extremely difficult especially for lighter crew in very light winds

  Welcome to the circus! In this course, sailors will explore the exciting world of trapezes and spinnakers through the RS Quest. This is the first step into the world of higher performance sailing where trapezing is a must and flying spinnaker adds exhilarating downwind flair to one's sail.

  Sailors will learn the basics of proper trapezing technique, spinnaker trim and boat handling, special gear care considerations, and effective skipper-crew communication. The RS Quest will provide a very friendly, stable learning platform before sailors step onto the skiffs and catamarans in future courses.

  Prerequisites:

  • be a UBCSC and JSCA club member for the current season
    
  • passed Intermediate Sailing with UBC Sailing
    
  • wetsuit: during lessons you will spend a lot more time in the water than you would in a regular relaxed sail

  Passing criteria (as per the A1 checklist):

  • sound judgement with regards to equipment care, crew experience and gear, weather and sea conditions

  • rigging/derigging, safe handling on the boat yard and on the water, well-controlled launch and landing
  • balance and speed control at all times with and without trapezing, with and without spinnaker, basic maneuvers including heave-to
  • emergency maneuvers such as man overboard, capsize recovery, spinnaker issues
  • time and conditions permitting, rudderless and backwards sailing
