Held at Oakcliff Sailing Center, Oyster Bay NY
This clinic is an immersive dive into keelboat racing for every level of youth sailor. It will be the fastest way to get out on the water and race in a grand prix format. With Oakcliff's fleet of eight Match 40 race boats, teams of 5-6 will learn what it takes to race as a team on a 40ft racing boat.

On day two we will incorporate and build on existing fleet racing knowledge and return to the water for a full day of racing.

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.

Accelerated Safe Powerboat Handling Course: This 8 hour, hands-on, on-the-water course is for anyone who has previously taken a classroom/online boating course but needs experience to safely operate a small motorboat and improve their boat handling skills. Students will be expected to study the course materials at home to challenge and pass a written exam covering equipment requirements, rules of the road, aids to navigations, preparation, environment regulations, safety and emergencies.
This course will not provide a state boating certification that is a prerequisite for the class. For those who need to complete that prerequisite, a Connecticut Safe Boating Certificate class will also be held on two evenings prior to some of the above Accelerated Safe Powerboat Handling courses.
