SAILING CAMP

INTRODUCTION

A fantastic opportunity to learn to sail in Qinhuangdao International Sailing Center in an English-language environment, while also doing all kinds of fun watersports. This is exactly what the summer holidays should feel like!                                                                  

The schedule below is a guideline of what types of activities the students will do. Sailing and watersports rely heavily on the weather conditions, so we adjust the schedule so that students get the optimum conditions for each activity. 

When the wind is good, we do as much sailing as possible. When there’s no wind but lovely warm weather, we do more of the other watersports. And if it’s not great weather, we spend more time indoors, learning super-important knowledge for sailing, and doing indoor games. This creates a nice balance of fun and learning over the whole week. 

在全英语的环境下,前往秦皇岛国际航海中心,学习航帆,同时还进行各式各样充满趣味的水上活动,度过充实的清凉一夏。这才是真正的暑假!

以下的行程是对孩子们将要进行的活动的一次概览。航帆和其他的水上活动对水体和天气的条件有着严苛的要求。为了保证孩子们尽可能拥有最好的练习条件,我们不排除根据实际情况调整具体时间计划的可能。

当风力良好的情况下,我们会尽量多的安排航帆。当无风且气候炎热时,我们会更多的安排清凉的水上活动。如果出现不理想的气候,我们会相应穿插一些室内课程或趣味活动,以利于孩子们能掌握航帆的一些关键知识及保持兴趣。在整整一周的航海运动营里,我们不但学会了许多实用的本领,也培养起了浓浓的兴趣。

ACTIVITIES

Sailing ropework and theory

Get to know the ropes! After an introduction to some core sailing knowledge, students practise a few important knots that are an essential foundation for their maritime learning journey and in fact quite useful for life too!

Rigging the boat, water safety, on-land simulation practice, launch and first try on water

Rigging the boat is a fun process with all kinds of parts that need to be put together in the right order, like a giant lego kit. Once that’s sorted, it’s time for some important water safety points. A cool simulator – essentially a boat on a rotating platform on land – is used to get familiar with the boat. Then it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for: the first launch! Feel that floating feeling for the first time, with the wind in your hair and the peace and quiet of the water all around you.

绳结学习,帆船理论

来跟我们一起了解缆绳吧!在了解一些基础而核心的帆船知识的同时,学生们将学习一些实用而必备的绳结打法。这将不仅对他们接下来一周的课程大有裨益,也将同时是能我们受益一生的实用技能!

帆船组装,安全救生讲解,模拟驾船训练,下水实操

组装帆船将会是一项别有趣味的技能。我们需要学会如何把各个部件按合理的顺序和适当的技巧组装在一起。完成组装训练后我们将一起熟悉必备的水上安全要点。而旱地上的模拟驾船训练将帮助我们进一步熟悉帆船的部件和操作流程。完成这一切后,我们将迎来营期间第一个高光时刻:第一次航行!第一次在帆船上真切地漂浮在水面上,感受穿过发间的风,以及环绕身边的水面上独有的平静与惬意。

Understanding the wind, operation of rudder, on-land turning simulation, practice changing sides

The wind is a fascinating and complicated element that students may not usually think about so much. This lesson introduces the key ideas of wind direction, how a sail harnesses the wind and how a boat moves in relation to it. The rudder gives a sailor control of the direction, and students learn how to operate it to steer the boat. The simulator is used to practice this, as well as the movement of swapping sides, which is surprisingly challenging and an important foundation for all later skills.

Beam Reach (Crosswind), tacking, capsizing and re-righting the boat

Next, we explore the idea of beam reach and learn the essential skill of tacking. Then the fun part: what to do if you capsize! Practise the correct reaction to this common event, righting the boat from the water and getting back onto it safely. A great excuse to cool off in the water.

辨别风向,舵的操作和原理,模拟器转向,换舷训练

对于学生们来说,风是一个既迷人又复杂而常常被忽略的元素。我们将着重讲解风向的关键知识,学习如何驾驭风并进而获得对船只的操控。同时我们也将学习如何正确掌舵来驱转我们的船只。我们将通过模拟器来巩固包括换舷在内的一系列操作,这一切或许将出人意料地有挑战性,但却无疑是向更高水平航行进阶的必经之路。

横风、迎风换舷航行,帆船倾覆回正训练

下一步,我们将探索横风和迎风换舷的重要技巧。另外也将体验最有趣的技巧之一:如何把倾覆的帆船回正!我们将练习如何正确地应对这种不可避免的事件,并安全地回正帆船且回到船上。当然这也是在炎热天气里借机体验一下水里清凉的一个好借口。

Sailing wind diagram study, sail force analysis, jibing practice on simulator, on-water practice

Time to get a bit nerdy with some wind diagrams and analysis of the boat’s power with different wind directions. This is all important stuff if you want your boat to go the right way, after all! Then it’s time for a new key skill: jibing (turning while heading downwind). This challenging maneuver is practiced first on the simulator and then on the water.

Run (downwind sailing) and jibing, figure-of-8 sailing, boating battle, large sailing boat experience

After practicing downwind sailing and new skill of jibing, students try the satisfying exercise of sailing around independently in a figure-of-8 shape. Other fun moments include a water battle while out on the lake, and the experience of sailing all together on a bigger boat with the instructors.

航行风向图学习,船帆受力分析,模拟器顺风换舷学习,下水实操

是时候深入了解一些理论知识了。我们将学习风向图并完成在不同风向下的船帆受力分析。这将确保我们有能力引领我们的船只向正确的方向行进。同时我们开始在模拟器上熟悉顺风换舷,并稍后再次下水以验证我们的学习成果。

顺风航行及换舷,“8”字绕标航行,水上大战,大帆船体验

在完成一系列基础训练后,学生们将开始体验独自完成8字绕标航行。在紧张而兴奋的学习后我们还将有机会进行水上大战,并与教练一起完成登上更大的帆船的初体验。

Close-Hauled (near windward sailing) training, Z-shaped route, figure-of-8 route

Heard of the expression ‘sailing close to the wind’? This is where it comes from. Close-Hauled is a difficult skill that will keep ambitious students suitably hooked now that they’ve got the basics down. The new Z-shaped route provides a fresh challenge, along with more practice cruising around in figures-of-8.

Triangular route, comprehensive practice

A triangular route gets students to really tackle all angles of wind. This is followed by extended comprehensive practice to hone all skills, gain confidence and enjoy that ‘I can do it!’ feeling.

近迎风航行训练,“Z“字航行,复习”8“字绕标

“迎难而上”这个词家喻户晓,那么想必“近迎风航行”也将不是一件轻松的事情吧?近迎风航行确实很困难,而正因如此,它也一定能激发孩子们迎难而上、不畏险阻的壮志豪情。在学习和练习实用的”Z“字航行后,我们还将再用”8”字绕标来检验我们这些天来的进步。

三角绕标航行,综合训练

三角绕标航行训练将为学生们提供一个适应任意风向的机会。随后我们将提供一系列综合训练,以巩固学生们的航行技能和信心。

Theory exam, practical test

Students complete a theory exam and a practical test on the water to officially conclude that they are now accomplished young sailors.

Learn about sailing competitions, friendly race

To round off the week and further put their skills to the test, students learn the basic format of competitive sailing and then go head-to-head in a friendly race. The excitement of competition is a great way for students to get hooked on learning more. We hope the course inspires kids to develop their love of watersports further, or to use the many new transferable skills in other areas of later life.

帆船理论考核,帆船实操考核

学生们将完成理论与实操考核来证明自己已经成长为新晋而有实力的帆船爱好者。

比赛规则学习,帆船测试赛

作为整整一周帆船营的收官之作,学生们将在了解基本的比赛规则后,开展一场别开生面的测试赛。顺利完赛的兴奋感和成就感也将驱动他们对航行产生更浓厚的兴致。我们希望这一次营期能激发学生们对水上运动项目的热爱,同时把新学会的可转移的技能和方法论应用到未来的人生中,牢牢掌握自己命运的航向!
