If your child has completed Opti 2 and is 9 or 10 years, they should retake Opti 2 due to the age requirement for CANSail 1 which is the next level of sailing. This provides the time for the sailor to gain more proficiency in sailing basics and builds more confidence on the water. This also prepares the sailor for the higher level CANSail courses.
