DESCRIPTION |
Junior Week is our largest sailing program. All of our Juniors (ages 7 to 17), and most of their parents, get together for a week of sailing, racing, and socializing and family fun. There is also an opportunity for teenagers (with the right skills and demeanor) to work as Counselors in Training (Senior CIT) and build their sailing resume. We may also offer parent sailing classes on Flying Scots during junior on-the-water classes. There will be an Opti Green Fleet Clinic led by Tommy Coleman and a racing clinic (Optis/420/Laser) led by our Head and Assistant Coaches Friday afternoon in preparation for the Virginia State Junior Championship on Saturday. |

SPECIAL NOTE |
Volunteers with powerboats are always welcome to be on the water |
