Special Announcements:
Long Beach Race Week Junior Sailing
ABYC Juniors pay attention! Commodore Kevin Brown and the JAC have provided an amazing opportunity for some of you to race on a Catalina 37 at Long Beach Race Week! This is one of the few opportunities youth get to really show off their skills and work together as part of a larger team. We currently have four spots filled out of the six we need, so contact Craig Ramsay (
juniors@abyc.org
) soon!
Here is a note from the Alamitos Bay Sailing Foundation!
Hit the Road Kids: traveling to sailing regattas is one of the best parts about our sport. You get to sail in new venues, visit cool places, meet new friends and hone your skills against top competition. And then come back to tell your friends what a great trip it was. Maybe you want to go to the 29er Nationals this summer on the east coast, or Laser PCCs at the Columbia River Gorge or Opti Nationals to name a few. We are looking into organizing a trailer and coach to the Laser PCCs at the Gorge this summer and there are spots available on the 29er class trailer for sending 29ers cross country too.
This Past Week’s Events:
The Junior Program has been seeing a little slower activity than normal with sailors, but the Laser sailors have been going strong! Sunday saw approximately 20 knots of breeze with 9 Laser sailors hitting the water and doing some windward/leeward practice races!
This Upcoming Week:
This upcoming weekend the ABYC Juniors enjoy some spring sunshine hanging out with their friends before their summer program begins! Watch the Juniors website
abyc.org/junior-home
