  Saturday Youth Sailing
  

  
  

  Now that you've learned to sail, keep practicing! And maybe get ready for the upcoming Harvest Youth Regatta on 14 November, 2020 at HMBYC.

  This series takes place every other Saturday from 29 August through 07 November, 0900-1300 each day. Our lead instructor will be on hand at all times, along with additional instructors from the 2019 summer camp season, to help you learn advanced sailing skills and the details of racing. (Hint: it's more than just boat handling....)

  Choose Opti's, Lasers, or FJ's as you prefer; the regatta is open to all of those classes.
  

  Please note: this is not a learn-to-sail event. Participants are expected to have basic sailing knowledge and experience, equivalent to at least one week of HMBYC's summer youth sailing camp.

  Registration covers all 6 sessions for a single fee. Registration is not guaranteed until full payment is received, and liability/medical release form is signed & turned in to the office. Download the necessary forms here.

  For more information, please contact the Youth Sailing Director, Des Cullen.

  (This series is open to current HMBYC members only, including youth members. Any sailor who attended camp during the current calendar year is a youth member of the club for the remainder of 2019. If you are having difficulty registering, please contact Karen Allanson, Rear Commodore, at rcommodore@hmbyc.org.
