BCYC CAMP CORINTHIAN SUMMER PROGRAM June 15 - July 24, 2026

REGISTRATION WILL BE AVAILABLE MARCH 12TH, 2026, FOR SAILORS WHO ARE OR WHOSE FAMILIES HAVE BEEN BCYC MEMBERS FOR MORE THAN 6 MONTHS. 

Our six-week flagship program begins in late June and ends in late July. Running Monday through Friday, classes are offered for kids ages five to 17, incorporating everything from arts and crafts, swim classes, knot tying, and top-level competitive racing around Southern California. The program concludes with the INSA Junior Sabot Nationals.

Classes include the Starfish programs for kids ages five to seven, followed by the Novice program for ages eight+ where kids learn to sail. Next, the sailors progress into the Sabot racing program, where kids compete against other sailors traveling throughout the region, and make their way up through a tiered ranking system based on ability level. Once the sailors master the Sabot, they graduate into the CFJ program as teenagers and learn to race double-handed boats. In addition to CFJs, we offer Club 420 sailboats, which introduces the trapeze and opens the door to the national youth sailing circuit.

All programs emphasize learning, safety, and fun in addition to producing winning results. There is a place for every level of sailor in the Camp Corinthian Junior Sailing Program!

REGISTRATION WILL OPEN MARCH 12th at 10:00 AM for Members & Returning Campers!

 Eligibility: The Starfish class is offered to children 5 to 7 years of age. This is an introductory class which consists of developmentally appropriate activities such as fundamental sailing knowledge, knot tying, safety, and water-related activities. Weekly activities include sailing a Harbor 20 accompanied by a certified sailing instructor, swim lessons with our certified swimming instructor, arts and crafts, and much more. Credentialed teachers plan a well-rounded curriculum of art activities, gross and fine motor skills development, dramatic play and educational outings. The class introduces Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club, prominent features of Balboa Bay, safe water sport and boating practices, and serves as an introduction to the BCYC Junior Sailing Program. 

STARFISH  - Ages 5-7

 Eligibility: The Novice class is an all-encompassing, fun-filled class for children 7-11 years of age in which participants will learn to skipper their own boat. This class is designed for first time sailors, as well as those not yet ready for the Pre-C3 Racing class. Curriculum covers the introduction of the Naples Sabot, boat parts, knots, and on-the-water sailing skills with a heavy focus on the fundamentals of upwind sailing. The goal of this class is to teach kids how to safely operate and learn to love their Sabot. 

SABOT – Novice - Ages 7-11

 Eligibility: The Sabot Intro to Racing option is available to children between 8-13 years of age who have satisfactorily completed the Novice class but are not quite ready to enter the C3 class. Please think of this class as a bridge between Novice & C3. Like C3 this will be a skill-building class, teaching kids how to safely maneuver their boat in basic race-course situations. But, sailors will not be forced straight into competition. Once a sailor feels ready to join the weekly Balboa Bay Fleet races, he or she may elect to move up to C3; however, a sailor may not move back and forth between Intro to Racing & C3. If coming from the Novice class, sailors must satisfy the Novice Graduate criteria to be eligible to enroll in the C3 class.

SABOT - Intro to Racing (Pre/C3) - Ages 8-13

 Eligibility: The Junior Mariner Program is BCYC’s seamanship class open to children from 10-17 years of age with some previous sailing experience recommended, but not required. This course is geared towards junior sailors who are interested in the lifestyle of a mariner beyond racing. Course curriculum will include destination sailing, navigation & orienteering, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, model boat building, knot-tying, STEM education and more.

JUNIOR MARINERS - Ages 10-17

 Eligibility: The Sabot C3 Program is available to children between 8-13 years of age. Sailors who have satisfactorily completed the Novice or Intro to Racing class will enter into the C3 class. This will be a skill-building class, teaching kids how to safely maneuver their boats in basic race-course situations. Sailors will compete in weekly regaTas within the harbor, with opportunities to enter additional regaTas on weekends. Sailors progress to the next level (C2) by winning their class events. Must graduate Sabot Novice to participate. Summer Gold Cup & other local weekend Balboa Bat Fleet regattas are included in tuition.

SABOT – Beginner Racing (C3) - Ages 8-13

 Eligibility: The Intermediate Racing Class is available to children from 9-13 years of age who have moved up beyond the C3 class by winning an eligible regatta. This program is dedicated to sabot sailors who are beyond entry level racing but have not yet mastered their fundamental boat-handling and tactics. These sailors are encouraged to attend Sabot Nationals and for many of them it will be their first Nationals experience. Boat handling, race tactics, course strategy and the Racing Rules of Sailing will be introduced throughout the course of the program. 

SABOT – Intermediate Racing (C2) - Ages 9-13

 Eligibility: The Advanced Racing Class is available to children from 9-17 years of age who have moved up beyond the C2 class by winning an eligible regatta. This program is dedicated to experienced racing sailors working towards a strong performance at Sabot Nationals. Advanced boat handling, race tactics, course strategy, and the Racing Rules of Sailing will be covered extensively. The goal of this class is to produce winning results at the highest levels of youth sabot sailing. Sailors in this program are strongly encouraged to participate in Junior Sabot Nationals. 

SABOT – Advanced Racing (C1 / B / A) - Ages 9-17

 Eligibility: Fridays, for sailors in the Sabot Advanced Racing class that want to take their team racing skills to the next level and compete in the Dick Sweet Team Race series. 

DICK SWEET SABOT TEAM RACE FRIDAY PRACTICE + REGATTA (C1 / B / A)

Classes include the Starfish programs for kids ages five to seven, followed by the Novice program for ages eight+ where kids learn to sail. Next the sailors progress into the Sabot racing program where kids compete against other sailors traveling throughout the region, make their way up through a tiered ranking system based on ability level. Once the sailors master the Sabot, they graduate into the CFJ program as teenagers and learn to race double-handed boats. In addition to CFJs, we offer Club 420 sailboats which introduces the trapeze and opens the door to the national youth sailing circuit.
