Other schools include, Norfolk Collegiate, Hampton Roads Academy, Christ Church, Maury, Poquoson , Walsingham, and a few others.
FBYC Juniors in the greater Richmond area are starving for a venue to sail in the fall and spring. Randy Stokes, President of VISA was instrumental helping to pave the way for FBYC Juniors to gain an incredible opportunity. Additionally, with the help of Hampton Yacht Club, John Hanna, FBYC friend , David Revill, HYC Junior Program Director, and Mark Newman, Coach, FBYC Sailors will be able to practice on Sundays at HYC.
Stay tuned for results ..First Regatta is September 12th at Norfolk Collegiate.
