Summer Sailing Academy

We have completed two sessions of our Summer Sailing Academy. Thirty sailors have participated and are now sailing as Juniors.

The third and final session will start on Monday, August 2 at 11 a.m. and finish on August 12th with a graduation BBQ. The first week begins on Monday and runs through Friday and the second week starts on Monday and is completed on Thursday. There is a BBQ Thursday evening for the sailors and their families.

When the final session is completed we will have about 45 young junior sailors. All are invited to participate in the Vrooman regatta on Sunday, August 22. This race is only for Sabot sailors. Beginning sailors will compete in the "C" class. Intermediate sailors will sail in the "B" class.

Sailors from other clubs will also be competing because this is the first race of the year for Sabot sailors. Points will be award toward the championship. There are ten races throughout the year and the sailors compete at various yatch clubs in the southland. We encourage all of our young sailors to sail and practice their skills. Instructors will be available to help.
