    Flying Scot Spinnaker Class



    Our newly refurbished Flying Scots are rigged and ready to sail spinnakers! Spinnakers offer the thrill of colorful, high speed, downwind sailing. In order to use our spinnakers, the skipper and at least one crew must be certified for spinnaker sailing by USSCMC.

    • Bob Voeller, US SAILING Level 1 Certified and one of our racing club members, will instruct Flying Scot Spinnaker Classes.
    • Sundays from 12 Noon to 4:00 p.m.
    • Classes available for USSCMC members and guests
    • USSCMC requires a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 students to hold class
    • Prerequisite: sailing competency with the ability to tack, jib and hold a steady course
    • Classes will focus on practicing the skills necessary to safely fly a spinnaker. The Spinnaker Certification Test will be included as a conclusion of the second Spinnaker Lesson. Passing the test is not guaranteed and will depend on the individuals’ competency level and personal confidence in their sailing skills. Additional classes may be required to achieve these skills.
    • For sailors who feel they are already proficient without a class, Spinnaker Tests will be given by appointment on Sunday mornings. Please call to schedule. Spinnaker Certification Test Only: $30

          Classes consist of two 4-hour classes
          on two consecutive Sundays

          USSCMC Members: $125 / Non-members: $250
