Youth Race Team

The Youth Race Team gives kids with some sailing experience the opportunity to step into racing. We encourage a fun and safe learning environment.

Youth sailors participate in social, fitness and educational activities to build the team dynamic and individual skills while learning about sailing.

Training nights are Operating on two evenings per week, and almost every other weekend, throughout the season (May thru Sept) the program provides participants with equipment, coaching, and logistical support while introducing them to the competitive aspects of dinghy sailing.

Weekly Training
Every week from early May until late August youth training runs from 6-9 pm.

• The Junior Team trains Monday evenings.
  
• The Senior Team trains Tuesday evenings.

Wednesday Night Racing
Both Junior and Senior Teams participate in Wednesday Night Racing to utilize learned skills and be part of the larger sailing community. Our coaches are out with the Team for WNR during July and August as part of the ongoing training program. 

Regattas and Training Camps
The Team participates in the following training camps and regattas supported by the Club's coaches to support the ongoing sailor development with age and skill appropriate training opportunities. The best way to develop sailing and racing skills is to participate in racing.
