Junior Sailing Association of Long Island Sound The JSA is the governing body of Junior Sailing on Long Island Sound. www.jsalis.org Code of Ethics “You haven’t won the race if in winning the race, you have lost the respect of your competitors.” Paul Elvstrom (4 time Olympic Gold Medalist in the Finn Dinghy) 1. Treat other persons and their property as you know they should be treated, and as you wish them to treat you and your property. 2. Regard the racing rules as agreements, the spirit and letter of which you should not evade or break. 3. Be gracious in victory and defeat. 4. Be cooperative and respectful. Remember that your actions on and off the water reflect on you and your sailing organization. The RYC junior sailing program will continue to emphasize ethics and good sportsmanship this summer. 3 Junior Officers of Riverside Yacht Club 2012 Commodore Billy Baxter Vice Commodore Olivia Rovelli Rear Commodore Billy Lewis Fleet Captain Jack Dyment Secretary/Treasurer Philip Dunay 2012 RYC Sailing Instructors Program Director Megan Magill Riverside Yacht Club Head Instructor Teddy Mark Larchmont Yacht Club Program Administrator Sara Anibal Rocky Point Club Instructors Morgan Kiss Macatawa Bay Yacht Club Chris Klevan Norfolk Yacht and Country Club Brooks Clark Newport Harbor Yacht Club Lexi Coudert Coral Reef Yacht Club & Edgartown Yacht Club Will Florio American Yacht Club Peter Stoll Larchmont Yacht Club Emma Brinkman American Yacht Club Laura Lubben Larchmont Yacht Club Hope Wilson American Yacht Club 4 Junior Instructors Billy Baxter Peter Dunay Philip Dunay Jack Dyment Caroline Keller Chris Keller Ali Larkin Ed Larkin Lisa Lewis Stevie Lewis Emma Lukens Pierce Ornstein Jack Parkin Jack Scanlan Ben Van Duyne James Westerberg 2012 RYC Sailing Staff Junior Clubhouse Phone 637-2708 Email: [email protected] [email protected] Megan Magill-RYC Program Director I grew up in San Diego, CA sailing Sabots, 420s, and FJs.
