Los Angeles County Lifeguards will be instructing beginning, intermediate, and advanced sailing classes. The beginning curriculum will include knot, basic sailing knowledge and terms, boat maintenance and rigging, tacking, docking and ocean sailing. Students will be learning to sail on 14-foot Capri sailboats (with main sail & jib); in the final days of the session (depending on the advancement of the class) the students get experience on 24-foot MacGregor. Applicants in the intermediate sailing class must have completed at least one beginning sailing class. Applicants in the advanced sailing class must have completed at least one session of the intermediate sailing class and have the recommendation of the instructors. The advanced sailing class will involve a one-day review and evaluation of intermediate skills, followed with extensive ocean sailing on our Laser sailboats.
