What happens to the youngster who has completed a junior program and is really excited about sailing? Where can she continue sailing when the program ends? There are few options available now. We will provide access to boats and the bay so she can continue to develop her sailing skills. What happens when a boy’s father wants to go sailing with his son, instead of standing on the shore watching the juniors out on the water?
