The US Sailing Level 1 Instructor course is divided into two sections: 

- A 3-day in-person section of the Level 1 course is approximately 30 hours and students will be evaluated on their teaching ability, sailing skills, powerboat handling skills and on-water class management, among other topics.

- A self-guided online introduction section of Level 1. The self-guided section allows participants to learn at their own pace and includes no scheduled interaction with an Instructor Trainer. This online course must be completed prior to attendance at the 3-day in-person section. US Sailing recommends that the in-person section is attended within three months of the online course completion for maximum retention and successful completion.

Pequot Yacht Club, Southport CT

!Save the Date!   --  For this two-day clinic sailed in Ideal 18 keelboats provided by Pequot Yacht Club. 

Sailors will be coached by five-time National Match Racing Champion Pearson Potts, skipper of the Guardians of the Monohull Racing Team and chairman of the US Sailing Match Racing Committee. He’ll be joined by Dave Perry, match racing guru who needs no introduction. Therefore, teams do not need to provide a coach. 

Teams of three in each boat. Sign-up individually, but come as a team. We'll prioritize one team per Junior Program, then open it up to more teams per Program if space is available. Skippers must be 14 years old, and one skipper may be designated or others may rotate. Crews can be any age. The event is limited to 24 sailors (8 teams of 3 sailors). Registration is on a first come-first served basis, as described in the Notice.

JSA Parent Workshop & Cocktail Reception – Helping Your Sailor Have a Great Summer

Do you want to support your sailor so they get the most out of their experience this summer? Learn from a pro on how, working together, this summer will be your sailor’s best summer?

On Saturday, June 21st, parents of our junior sailors are invited to the JSA Parent Workshop at SUNY Maritime College, Throggs Neck, NY. The Workshop will run from 4-6 pm with a social hour following.

There will be two sessions:

  • We will kick things off with Reed Maltbie. Coach Reed is a globally recognized authority in peak performance, mental skills training, and leadership development. He has collaborated with renowned organizations like the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee and US Sailing. Reed will share his insights on how all of us who support our junior sailors: sailing directors, instructors and parents, can partner most effectively “as one.” Reed’s insights will be of value to parents of sailors of all experience levels.
  • Following a short break, we will have a panel including a sailing director and a parent exploring their own strategies and tactics for working together to improve the sailing experience for our juniors. It will be an interactive session, with plenty of opportunity for our audience to engage, particularly since we will have benefited from Coach Reed’s insights.

Following the panel discussion, join us for a social hour with beer and wine.

The registration fee is $25 paid when registering through the Additional Information link above.

Hoping you will join us on June 21st.
