X Boat Race Team

The X-boat is the next step for Opti Intermediate/Advanced sailors. Please note that families must provide their own boat for participation, but don’t let that stop you! Used boats are inexpensive and easy to come by. Please reach out to [email protected] if you are interested in purchasing an X-Boat and/or interested in connecting with a parent of an X-boat sailor.

In these sessions, sailors will learn how to effectively communicate with their crew, strengthen their knowledge of proper rigging and tuning techniques, and  develop their racing tactics/strategy. By the end of the summer, sailors should feel confident competing at regattas required by LMSS coaches and staff, including the ILYA X Championship.

Sailors will be shuttled to Bug Island with their equipment, ready to start class at scheduled time. Class runs Monday-Thursday (no Friday!).

• Sign up for “Island Time” – the LMSS early drop-off/late pick-up program for drop-off as early as 8am and pickup as late as 1pm

Register for both sessions to get $150 off!

Registration is per boat which includes the skipper and crew.

*Additional regatta travel fees will apply outside of the Twin Cities. Participants attending events will be responsible for their travel expenses in addition to covering lodging, rental vehicles, gas, and food for LMSS staff. LMSS will cover all staff hourly & salary expenses. A detailed breakdown of expenses will be provided. Contact LMSS for more information.
