Session 2 is officially over and we have just two short weeks left of this Summer's sailing program. We had some great sailing weather this past week with a really great showing for the regatta on Wednesday night. May that continue for the last two regattas of the season.

Beginner Class

Our very large beginner group did really well to get on the water everyday which gave

everyone the opportunity to skipper a ton. Most of the group really got the hang of

upwind sailing and everybody got really comfortable in a sail boat. We hope to see all of

y'all again for part of the third session or during next year's program.

Intermediate ClassOur intermediate group had some kids just

coming up from the beginner class who did really well to keep up with the more experienced

kids in the group. There are also a number of opti sailors in this group that are competing in regattas

at other clubs. Ellie Maus, Sarah Smith, Galt Oliver and Christopher Robertson all travelled to

Rappahannok River Yacht Club this past weekend to compete. The results are not yet available online but the

sailors were well up there in a fleet of 30 optis.

Sloops ClassThe sloops had a great showing at the regatta with

4 boats out racing. They have all greatly improved their

boat handling and racing skills. Some of the group only just learned how to sail these past two weeks.
