The importance of our

J U N I O R

P R O G R A M

is immense, and the impact is both signifi cant and far-reaching. Literally, hundreds of kids and their families pass through

our doors every year attending clinics, regattas and summer camp.

Our

J U N I O R P R O G R A M

brings new members to our club, builds our sport, and teaches core values to our kids. In addition, our

juniors bring prestige to our club, our city and country as champions in high school, college, the Olympic Games and the America’s Cup. The money we raise will help to keep the level of our program competitive with the top programs in the

country and our program fees affordable for local families.

Our

G O A L S

include providing better coaching, better training for our current coaching

staff, improving our equipment and establishing a travel fund to encourage national and

international competition.
