JUNIOR SAILING 2011

Welcome to Junior Sailing 2011! Our program begins on Monday, June 27th and will continue for eight weeks, concluding on Thursday, August 18th.

Our objective is to provide an enjoyable, comprehensive program of sailing instruction. This includes four levels of Optimist Pram sailing as well as advancedracing clinics for Lasers, Laser 4.7's and Club 420's.We have incorporated *Puddle Ducks, an introductory clinic for our younger club members, ages 6 and 7, into our program, as well. Please Note: Class size for this clinic will be limited. Please contact the Jr. Sailing Coordinator for availability before registering.

Our Instructors 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:

• Leanne Hewit, a graduate of the NBYC Junior Sailing Program, returns as Head Instructor this season. She has participated in the Jr. Olympics, Leiter Cup, (a national junior women's single handed Laser championship,) and Bay Head Race Week. She just graduated from Clemson University with a Bachelor of Science Degree, Health Sciences, and will be attending Physician Assistant school in the fall. This will be the fourth year that Leanne has been instructing our juniors at NBYC.
   
• Sarah Spanarkel, our second in command, has been a sailing Optis and Lasers since she was 8 years old. She has been a jr. sailing instructor at Beachwood YC for the last five years and will be a wonderful addition to our teaching staff. She is going to be a senior at York College of PA, where she is a Political Science Major with a minor in Legal Studies. Sarah plays Varsity Soccer, loves traveling, and has just returned from studying abroad in Ireland. She is also a competitive Irish Step Dancer.
   
• Robert Alldian has been teaching juniors for two years. He is a championship sailor from MRYC in Optis, Sunfish, Lasers, Club 420's and Lightnings on both local and national levels. He also sails competitively in A Cats, Tamwock and Raven, as well as PHRF boats. Robert will be a sophomore at Loyola University in Maryland, where he is currently on the Fall and Spring Sailing Team, and majoring in Business.

The Junior BBYRA 2011 schedule of regattas and interclubs will be given to each sailor and posted on the NBYC bulletin board. This calendar can also be found at www.bbyra.org. These events 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 all of these events.

We also encourage our intermediate and advanced sailors to compete in the Saturday, BBYRA Race Series.

A new policy this season will allow participants to receive Individual regatta pennants (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place) based upon the number of Registrants in a class, not the number of Starters.

We will be hosting our 9th Junior Sailors' Interclub on Thurday, July 21st for Sunfish, Lasers, Laser 4.7's, and Club 420's, There are designated inteclubs for Opti's, only, throughout the season. Our popular Sunday Afternoon Race Series is another opportunity for junior sailors to practice technique, teamwork and sportsmanship. Juniors sailing in Opti's, Lasers, Laser 4.7's, and 420's are welcome to compete alongside adults sailing 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! The NBYC year-end Awards Ceremony will be held on Sunday, September 4th.

We look forward to another wonderful summer of fair weather, gentle breezes and great sailing!

Private lessons are available with an individual instructor upon request.
