Safety & Education

Safety and Education June 2017

June is when our summer sailing camp is held during the last two weeks of the month.  We have a full camp again this year, with no more spots available.  If you happen to be on the water during the time camp is being held please be aware that we have a lot of novices and young sailors in the area.  Please be alert and give them extra room as quite often, we don’t know what to expect in regards to their boat handling.  We hope to have another successful this summer and introduce many youngsters to the sport of sailing.  As previously stated we hope to center our sailing camp operations in the new junior sailing building and limit the use of the upper pavilion.

The ILY-A Junior Traveler Series Regattas begin this weekend in Alum Creek.  That will be followed with four additional regattas this month, along with instructing the two weeks of the Junior Sailing Camp.  Needless to say it is a very busy month for our juniors!  Keep an eye on the Junior Sailing Facebook page for results and feel free to offer words of encouragement.

Reagan Lessick just successfully completed her US Sailing Level 2 Certification.  Way to go Reagan!  We encourage our junior sailors to get as many instructor certifications as they can, which makes our instructor staff one of the best in the area!

Sail safe this month and we’ll update you again next month.
