Normandy Beach Yacht Club
JUNIOR SAILING 2008

Craig Hewit presents John Boyle Opti Pram First Place Award

Welcome to Junior Sailing 2008! Our program begins on Monday, June 23rd, and will continue for eight weeks, concluding Thursday, August 14th. The NBYC Awards ceremony will take place on Labor Day weekend.

Hilary Scheer will be our Head Instructor this season. She has been working on a 96’ long wooden schooner in the Caribbean all winter and using sailing to travel the region. Hilary taught at NBYC for several years and we welcome her return.

Leanne Hewit, a graduate of the NBYC Junior Sailing Program, will be the second in command. She has participated in the Jr. Olympics, Leiter Cup (a national junior women’s single handed Laser championship), Bay Head Race Week, and currently sails for Clemson University’s Sailing Club Race Team in South Carolina. She will be a sophomore majoring in Health Science.

The objective at NBYC is to provide an enjoyable, comprehensive program of sailing instruction. Clinics include three levels of Optimist Pram sailing as well as advanced racing clinics for Lasers and Club 420’s. Participants will be placed in groups according to their level of ability, at the discretion of the Head Instructor. Implementing skills taught in class, the instructors will encourage team spirit through drills, relay races and group sailing activities. Emphasis is placed on realizing each junior sailor’s potential, fostering self-confidence and promoting competitive sportsmanship.

The BBYRA 2008 schedule of regattas and interclubs will be given to each sailor and posted on the NBYC bulletin board, as well as on this NBYC website. These are considered to be an integral part of instruction for the Intermediate and Advanced students and provide the opportunity to competitively race against sailors from other yacht clubs of similar proficiency and experience. Our instructors will accompany sailors to these events.

NBYC will not be hosting a Junior Sailors’ Interclub this season. However, our popular Sunday afternoon races are another opportunity for our junior sailors to practice technique, teamwork and sportsmanship. Juniors, sailing in Opti’s, Lasers, and 420's, compete alongside adults in Sanderlings and many types of auxiliary sailboats followed by refreshments and an informal awards ceremony. Bring your family and friends and join in the fun!

Our remarkable teaching staff is looking forward to another exciting year of fair weather, gentle breezes and great sailing.

See you this summer!
