Welcome to the 2024 Long Beach Yacht Club Summer Sailing Program! Our goal for this Summer is to instill a lifelong appreciation for sailing and yacht racing by creating an environment that promotes sportsmanship, safety, and the fun of being on the water. We are again offering core programming ranging from the popular Sea Otters class, tiered levels of instruction in the Naples Sabot (leading to the Race Team), as well as Doublehanded Racing in the Club 420 and Club FJ. Please be sure to read through each class description while on the Clubspot registration page for detailed information - including program goals, age ranges, dates, times and pricing.
Come join us for the inaugural season of Long Beach Yacht Club's High School Sailing program, starting this fall! This program does not require previous sailing experience to join. We do, however, require a can-do attitude and a willingness to learn from our advanced team of LBYC sailing professionals. We plan on instilling a standardized set of sailing skills to allow for fast and easy learning before we take a deep dive into sailboat racing tactics, technique, regatta preparation and much more.
Spring 2024 program for High School Sailing will be January 23rd - May 24th. Looking forward to some important regattas organized by the PCISA in San Fransisco and Santa Barbara. Our main objectives will be to sail fast, race your own race and have fun! With instructions from Head Coach Rob Rice, Coach Bobby Little, and veteran congressional cup sailor Steve Flam we will have all the support we need to succeed this next sailing season. Excited to see everyone this season and watch everyone progress through this incredible racing sport!
