We are proud to host this event, part of a nationwide series of regattas for youth. US Sailing’s Junior Olympic Sailing Program is a nationwide series of sailing regattas for youth ages 8 to 18. Each event in this family of regattas is hosted by a different club or sailing organization but all events share a common goal: to encourage young sailors to enjoy sailing, to develop their sailing skills and become lifetime sailors. Events mix Olympic-style competition with elements of fun and learning at all levels, from beginning racers to those with Olympic aspirations. This year 30 events are planned for waters in the continental United States and Hawaii and 5,000 sailors are expected to compete. Junior Olympic Sailing is coordinated by US Sailing and sponsored nationally by Gill, Sperry, New England Ropes, Zim Sailing and KO Sailing.
