  The aim of this course is to give competent sailors with little recent experience the confidence to get back on the water safely.

  Note: while the session shows 2pm to 8:30pm, for each individual student it will only last about 4 hours.

  • registered as a UBC Sailing Club member for the 2024-2025 season
  • registered as a JSCA member for the 2024-2025 season
  • previously passed our beginner or intermediate course

  Prerequisites:

  • JSCA and UBCSC member in good standing for the current season

  • "ready for intermediate" status, or having previously passed an intermediate or higher course

  Course content:

  • learn sailboat racing basics, so that you can take part in the races hosted by Jericho on Tuesday evenings and Sunday afternoons

  Schedule: 15 hours over 4 sessions:
  

  • the first session is land-only, focused on rigging. No wetsuit required for that one.
  • come 1+ hour early on sessions 2, 3, 4, so that you have time to get changed and rig your boat before the lesson begins
  • three 3-hour sessions on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
  • one 6-hour session split in two half-sessions on Saturday
  • note: on Tuesday evening before your first lesson, you are encouraged to take part in JSCA's Tuesday Night Racing series, either as skipper on a Quest, or as crew on another boat.

  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

  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, or have previously achieved our Adv 1 certification
  • 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

  
  

  The Adv 1 course introduces members to trapeze and spinnaker on our RS Quest. The RS Quest makes for a good introduction to trapeze and spinnaker sailing as it is uncomplicated and stable, yet has a lot buoyancy allowing it to pick up enough speed under spinnaker to be exciting.
  The main handling difficulties when moving up from intermediate monohulls are:
  - when a crew is trapezing, the helm has to work more to maintain boat balance while helming properly
  - spinnaker sailing brings extra lines/clutter in the cockpit, and more instability; this is magnified when turning more upwind; intentional capsize may be needed to avoid tearing a spinnaker that was not doused smoothly

  Prerequisites:

  • have been awarded "ready for C2" by an instructor, for instance during a half-day skill test session, or have previously achieved our Cat 2 certification
  • 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 C2 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 maneuversemergency maneuvers such as man overboard, capsize recovery in light winds with the help of a waterbag
  • time and conditions permitting, rudderless and backwards sailing

  
  The Cat 2 course introduces members to spinnaker sailing on our F18. Students learn to handle a bigger, faster catamaran. The F18 makes for an exhilarating ride, with lighter control at the rudder, self-tacking jib, more buoyancy than a Hobie 16 making it able to pierce through smaller waves, and a powerful sail plan especially under spinnaker.
  The main handling difficulties when moving up from the Hobie 16:
  - bigger, faster boat, with different tasks for helm and crew
  - spinnaker handling brings more lines on the trampoline, and requires smoother handling downwind
