Advanced 2 Lessons

Prerequisites: Advanced 1 Sailing

Learn to trapeze and use the spinnaker on the RS500. Adapt the skills you developed on the RS Quest to the less stable, semi-planing RS 500. Learn more advanced sail trimming and racing techniques, This course runs over 2 full days.

Advanced 3 (mentoring only)

Prerequisites: Advanced 2 Sailing

The RS800 is the big brother of the RS500. With a spinnaker, double trapeze and hiking-wings, this is an exhilarating boat to sail. It comes with a steep learning curve but offers the kind of high performance skiff sailing many sailors dream about. We no longer offer Advanced 3 lessons; get certified on the RS800 through the mentoring program.
