Junior
Sailing Program
The
HYC Junior Sailing Program (JSP) has been formed to
encourage young sailors to experience the joy of sailing
and to teach the essential elements of boat handling,
seamanship, water safety skills, and racing in a safe
and fun environment. The JSP promotes sportsmanlike
behavior among its sailors and encourages the teaching
of life-long lessons, which seek to build character,
foster teamwork, and strengthen respect for self, others,
and the boating environment.
Through its programs, the JSP seeks to support both
recreational sailors and serious competitors to create
sailors who will enjoy and contribute to the sport of
sailing for their entire lives.
Classes are provided at the lowest possible cost and
club owned Optimist sailboats are available for use.
Interaction with other sailing club youth programs provides
opportunities for involvement in additional clinics
and events. Growth goals of the program include summer
sailing camps, expansion to Laser/Sunfish/C15/420 boats,
and junior regattas.
