a sailing program intended to promote sailboat racing competition
at local, regional, national, and international levels. The
primary focus will be single and doublehanded racing in Laser,
Laser Radial, and CFJ. Specialized instruction (i.e. for skiffs
and keelboats) will be provided in preparation for other US
Junior events or international events. The program has two levels
of commitment:
