Regatta Results from Last Week

Last week was a good one for the program, as two of the more popular events saw us do quite well. Conditions couldn't have been better, and the kids performed well... not only sailing fast, but focusing on improving, having fun, andrepresenting the club on the water and ashore. We were the most consistent club on the podium, too! Here are some highlights:

Week in Review

Lots happening at the BHYC Jr Sailing program! The first week saw our greenies, in their first few days of sailing, sail out of the basin already, while the Intermediates were hanging out on the flats like seasoned Merrick sailors. The Opti Bs were competing in big breeze with the A group, who are challenging themselves to get better in all types of wind. Our 420 group has a slew of new young talent just transitioning from Optis, while the lasers welcome a few new sailors to add to their experienced group.

This week we'll be competing in the first up bay Interclub series on Thursday at MYC. Good luck and go Bay Head!

Blustery Day 2

The second day of program brought a good breeze in the morning that freshened to heavy in the afternoon, a good challenge for all of our sailors! We worked on heavy wind trim and tactics, but finished a bit early, as a lot of boats were capsizing and having difficulty staying to weather. Everyone performed great!
