Equipment: For sailing programs all participants are required to wear a wetsuit, booties/ water shoes, a helmet, and life jacket. These items are required for safety of the participants and reducing risk of injury or incident.
Vessel: This program uses the Coronado 15 (C-15) sailboat. This boat’s cockpit is 5.7' wide at the beam (widest part of the hull) with 8.5’ of usable length. For our programs typically 3 - 4 people are placed in each boat. In order to sail this vessel it will require maneuvering around the boom during tacking & gybing, which involves kneeling in the center cockpit and being aware of moving parts.
