The Junior Big Boat Sailing (JBBS) Program provides sailing opportunities for young sailors beyond traditional small boat programs, and the JBBS Program Guide is a one-stop-shop on how to implement the Program in your organization. When paired with the Basic Keelboat Book, it provides the instructor all the necessary resources to successfully introduce their sailors to larger keelboats. 

In this Program Guide, you will find class outlines and lesson plans, guidelines for running the program, staff training guidelines, and more! Whether your sailors are looking to compete at the local level or are moving towards becoming a US Sailing Instructor, the Junior Big Boat Program provides them with a solid foundation, and this guide is designed to get you started!

Junior Big Boat Sailing Cue Cards are an effective learning tool for sailors involved in the Junior Big Boat Program. These Cue Cards are laminated positional guides, each holding the position and job responsibilities for their respective roles, which include Helmsman, Mainsail Trimmer, Foresail Trimmer, Pit/Runner, Mastman, and Foredeck. Use these in conjunction with the Junior Big Boat Program Guide for ease of teaching and learning on the water. 

The Basic Keelboat textbook is the essential keelboat sailing guide.  Part of the Certification Series, this updated (March 2024) 5th Edition book is designed to develop safe, responsible, and confident sailors who meet specific performance and knowledge standards.
