Sailing has long been a major activity at Kawanhee. Many boys who return year after year consider it the most interesting activity in Camp. "Sign-ups" for Sailing are always filled.

The Beginning Sailing Program - the Novice and Crew ratings - introduces the new sailor to basic safety requirements, common sailing terms and knots and the practical procedures which acquaint him with the thrills of sailing yet to come.

The Intermediate Program - Bosun and Second Mate - teaches the emergency procedures and responsibilities of the skipper; Sailing Theory and Rules of the Road; and practical procedures including getting under weigh, setting sails, tacking, landing, furling sails, shipshape condition, and basic Racing Procedures.

The Advanced Program - First Mate and Skipper - challenges a boy with advanced sailing terms, theory, navigation, yacht design, boat maintenance, splicing, sailing traditions, the proper handling of sloops, and an in-depth study of Racing Rules and Tactics. The coveted Racing Skipper award is presented to persons who have demonstrated outstanding skill, service, and performance.

Following several informal practice races, sailors may sign up for the racing program which encourages boys to compete in two types of regattas - Part One, Team Racing - Grey and Maroon - Part Two, Individual Racing - the final regatta.

So come and enjoy a sail on beautiful Lake Webb!
