NCS Program Details

Opti Green is perfect for sailors, ages 8-12, who are ready to move from basic sailing skills into more independent sailing in single-handed boats, such as the Optimist dinghy. Sailors will learn the fundamentals of rigging, sail trim, steering, tacking, jibing, and safety in a fun, hands-on environment. Students will also have the opportunity to practice in various conditions, allowing them to become comfortable sailing solo. Once ready, sailors may transition to Opti Blue. Opti Green is offered as a two-week program in Polpis Harbor, Monday through Friday, with morning sessions (9:15-11:45 AM) and afternoon sessions (1:00-3:30 PM). Opti Green will be offered as a one-week class during the weeks of June 22 and June 29.

The Coffin Cup will be held on Friday, July 17, 2026. It is open to sailors in the morning class of the session beginning July 6 as part of regular programming. Opportunities to spectate will be available.
