⛵ It takes a village to help ensure the sailing season is smooth!

We invite all parents of Junior Sailors to join us on Saturday at 2:00 PM for a brief informational orientation. We'll review daily sailor essentials, regatta schedules, season expectations, and other important information, as well as answer any questions you may have.

Immediately following the orientation, we will conduct safety inspections of all privately owned boats from approximately 2:30–4:00 PM. We encourage both parents and sailors to attend.

Junior Instructors (JIs):
Please join us at 1:00 PM to meet with Maggie, our Sailing Director.

To serve as a Junior Instructor, sailors must:
• Be at least 12 years old
• Have several years of experience as a Junior Sailor
• Commit to volunteering for a minimum of two mornings per week

We look forward to kicking off another fantastic season on the water!
