By the way, call me “Stu.” Pawtucket, RI 401-527-7268 Look, I don’t need to explain to you how great our Class is. If you’re reading this, you already get it. We have a tremendous one-design boat and a committed membership.

There is a ton of Order by 12/31/2015. 504-481-2019 competition for the attention of the youth demographic. Attracting youth is one of the biggest challenges facing every one-design Class and every yacht club in the world. Hell, it’s one of the biggest challenges facing almost every sport worldwide. Couple this competition with the Secretary/Treasurer already limited attention span of most youth and you can understand why so many parents of Jennifer Princing school-age children are not exactly teetotalers. Hemlock, MI 989-213-3973 So what can we do to accomplish this challenging objective? As you sit in front of the fire with your eggnog this holiday season, please think it over and send me your thoughts (lucid or #1 Worlds otherwise…). I want to hear from everyone. #1 East Coasts Chief Measurer #1 NE Regionals U.S. Technical #1 Mid-Atlantics Committee Chairman J/22 Youth Scholarship Boat Program #1 CAN Nationals Terry Flynn League City, TX In the interim, I wanted to introduce you to a new program we are planning to offer in 2016: #1 Raw Bar 713-906-5497 the J/22 Youth Scholarship Boat Program. This program will award a fully outfitted J/22 sailboat (complete with trailer) to a promising youth team for the entire sailing season. The #1 Charleston RW award recipients will be expected to race the J/22 Scholarship Boat in several high profile, #1 NOOD Anappolis world-class J/22 regattas (including the 2016 J/22 World Championship in Kingston, Ontario) #1 Cleveland RW Executive Secretary and participate in various Scholarship Program promotional events. The Program is intended Christopher Howell to encourage talented youth sailors (skippers aged 19-29) to experience the J/22 and the #1 SSA Summer Cleveland, OH Class’ tremendous community of one-design sailors—at virtually no cost. It is our hope that 440-796-3100 recipients’ experience in the Program will escalate their level of competitiveness and inspire them to accomplish great things in the sailing world. And, of course, the Class gets to claim all participants as J/22 sailors (and we’ll have numerous photos to prove it!).
Nomination To make the J/22 Scholarship Boat Program great, we need two things: (i) a pool of talented Committee Chairman applicants, and (ii) sponsorship contributions and donations. We are presently getting the word Sandy Adzick out through competitive college and high school sailing coaches. Please encourage anyone you Haverford, PA feel would be a good fit to apply. We are also in the process of actively soliciting corporate 610-642-2232 sponsorships and individual donations to fund this endeavor. If you can contribute a few bucks or know a company that might benefit from having their logo pasted all over the team’s J/22, please let us know. More information is available on our website (http://www.j22.com/index. php/the-boat/scholarship). Deadline for applications is March 15, 2016. I’m confident that, US and International with your help, we will get the next generation of J/22 sailors involved.

Invitation to 2016 J/22 World Championship On behalf of the International J/22 Class Association, the Canadian J/22 Class Association and CORK/ Sail Kingston, we are pleased to invite you to the 2016 J/22 World Championship. The 2016 J/22 World Championship will take place August 19-25 at CORK/Sail Kingston, located in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Sailing will take place on the waters at the eastern end of Lake Ontario, which offers some of the best fresh water sailing in the world. The city of Kingston is nestled at the mouth of the Rideau Canal and the St. Lawrence River at the eastern end of Lake Ontario. The city hosted the sailing event for the 1976 Olympics, and countless regattas are hosted out of the same venue as was used in 1976. Competitors can find general information about the venue, travel, accommodations and sailing conditions at www.cork.org. The NOR is posted and registration is open. European and US competitors will realize significant savings due to the strength of your currencies against the Canadian dollar so we encourage all competitors to register as early as possible. If you need any additional information in order to start your planning for this World Championship, please do not hesitate to contact one of us. We look forward to welcoming all competitors to CORK and the city of Kingston in August 2016.
