Learn to Sail (8-12yr olds): This is a one week, half day option for juniors 8-12 yrs old who have never taken any sailing classes. Students will learn the parts of a sailboat, how to rig an optimist dinghy, wind direction and points of sail, steering and trimming sails. This option is offered at the beginning of the summer.

Learn to Sail Teens (13-16 yr olds): This course is for teens who would like a refresher or are learning to sail for the first time. Students will develop their sailing knowledge and skills sailing on Flying Scots and 420s. Students will learn to rig, steer, trim the sails, along with learning basic seamanship and water safety.

Beginner (8-12 yr olds): This is a course for students with less than one year of instruction. Students will develop their sailing knowledge and skills in an exciting but safe environment. Instruction is done in club owned Optimist dinghies, and sailors are paired with one another to learn the basics of how to rig a boat, steering, trimming the sail, knot tying, wind direction and water safety.

Intermediate (10-14 yr olds): This course is for sailors who have completed the beginner course and want to continue their progression. This class allows students to strengthen their sailing knowledge and skills. Emphasis is placed on proper boat-handling skills, including sail trim, body positioning, weight placement, tiller use, tacking and jibing. Sailors will also learn and develop their racing skills and will have the opportunity to participate in local regattas. Students will sail either Opti’s or O'Pen Skiffs depending on their skill level.

Advanced/Racing (12-16 yr olds): Sailors must be at least 12 years old and weigh more than 100 lbs. The 420 provides students the chance to learn in a double-handed boat. Students will learn how to both skipper and crew. The focus of this class will be learning to sail as a team. As skills improve they will learn the rules of sailboat racing and work towards learning to fly a spinnaker and use the trapeze. Please note: Sailors will be assessed at the beginning of the program to determine entrance into the advanced program. Instructors will determine sailor readiness and preparedness. If determined not ready for the advanced program, the sailor will be retrained and have the option to retest into the advanced program.

SWEEPs Session (8-16 yr olds): This session is a fun introduction to racing and is only open to juniors who have taken a previous session this summer. In the first week juniors will continue lessons at MBC with the focus on how to sail a typical race course, basic race rules and strategy. The second week juniors will participate in the SWEEPs regatta. Sweeps is a 4 day junior regatta that takes places at the Shrewsbury Sail and Yacht Club (SSYC) Monday & Tuesday and at MBC on Wednesday & Thursday. The racing can be competitive, but the focus is on learning and having fun. This session is open to all levels, including Beginners!

MBC Fun Week (8-16 yr olds): Fun Week is exactly that - after a week of racing in SWEEPs, the juniors are all excited to finish the summer with a week of fun and games. There are no formal lessons, instead the juniors use the skills they have acquired throughout the summer to have some fun! There is a day sail to Crazees Ice Cream, Pirate Day complete with costumes and hidden treasure, Scavenger Hunts on the water, and more.

Desired Event

I agree (on behalf of myself and my child) to make no claims against the Monmouth Boat Club (MBC), or anyone who is a member or spouse or agent or employee thereof, for any loss of, or damage or injury to, any person or persons or property and to hold harmless the MBC and anyone who is a member or spouse or agent or employee thereof against liability for any loss, damage or injury caused to my child, or by my child to other persons or to property. I further understand that the need for immediate medical care might arise and I give my permission for such care to be given as becomes necessary.

The Monmouth Boat Club may use pictures or images of its members taken at functions, events and youth programs on its website and other social media. Members and participants in the MBC Junior Program implicitly consent to the use of such images by the club unless they direct the club, in writing, that such consent is withheld.

Code of Conduct for Junior Sailors

Monmouth Boat Club (MBC) strives to be among one of the premier Junior Sailing Programs in New Jersey. In order to achieve this goal, all program participants (junior sailors, instructors, program supervisor, parents and other adults) must understand and work to implement the Junior Fleet Mission Statement. MBC expects all program participants to conduct themselves appropriately at all times and to follow the following

Code of Conduct:

Professional Conduct – I will work proactively to achieve my full potential. I will trust that my instructors have my best long‐term interest at heart, and I will willingly comply with their direction.

Personal Conduct – I will conduct myself professionally and accept responsibility for my actions. I will display high standards in my language, manner, punctuality, preparation and presentation. I will display self-control, courtesy, respect, honesty, dignity and professionalism. I will refrain from criticizing others – this includes my interactions with opponents, coaches, officials, administrators, parents and spectators.

Good Sportsmanship/Corinthian Spirit – I will continually strive to demonstrate good sportsmanship, both on and off the water. I will place winning in the context of good sportsmanship and fair play.

Respect For Others – I will respect the rights, dignity and self worth of every individual. I will act honorably and will not lie, cheat or steal (or borrow without permission). I will encourage my fellow junior sailors to display the same qualities, and I will report those who do not respond appropriately to my encouragement to my coach/instructor.

Safety – Safety underpins everything we do. As such, it must be viewed as a philosophy, and NOT simply items on a checklist. Sailing and racing are inherently risky activities, and all instructors will actively manage risk when working with our youngest sailors and will help our older sailors understand appropriate risk management strategies to ensure that the training and/or competitive environment is safe. As a junior sailing program participant, I will ensure that my equipment is ready to support all planned activities. I will immediately inform my instructor if I feel that I am not ready to participate fully in the planned activity (i.e., understand the task, am physically healthy enough, rested and skilled to ensure its successful outcome). I will look out for my fellow junior sailors.

I have read and understand the MBC Junior Program Mission Statement and I agree to abide by the Code of Conduct for Junior Sailors. I recognize that participation in the MBC Junior Program is a privilege, and not a right. I understand that if I do not abide by and promote the Code of Conduct I may be temporarily or permanently suspended from MBC’s Junior Program.

I agree to the above:
