Thirty-five intrepid skippers and crew participated this year, bringing the competition to another level with the J/70, Star, and Martin 242 one design classes. Saturday was overcast with light winds, leading to a two-hour delay before PRO Jr. S/C Kellie Fennessy could get the two races of the day underway. The wind started from the south before eventually shifting right to a more westerly six- knot breeze with the sun peeking through the clouds. Sunday was completely different with sunny skies and consistent wind, giving the sailors three races to challenge their skills and ending with some tight finishes in the classes.

These pages are meant to be a parent’s and future junior sailor’s guide in navigating the child’s way through the rewarding sport of junior sailing. In these pages you will find details on recommended equipment for the children to bring to the program, goals the program will focus for your child and the expectations of the parents themselves. The LuHi Summer Sailing Program is for Grades 4 thru 9. Sagamore Junior Sailing Mission The Sagamore Junior Sailing (SJS) Fleet’s Mission is to provide a fun and educational program for youth interested in sailing and racing. We seek to impart a love of sailing as a life sport while providing the fundamental skills necessary for participants to advance in the sport of sailing as far as their desire, skill and hard work may take them. Our instructors shall provide a curriculum with the most current and effective techniques to create skilled and confident youths who will respect others, care for their equipment and be willing to help fellow sailors on and off the water. Our sailors will be expected to conduct themselves in the Corinthian Spirit during practice and in competition. All Junior Fleet sailors, whether their interest be in cruising or racing, should emerge with an enhanced sense of self-reliance, knowledge of seamanship and a solid foundation in the sport of sailing. An Overview of Junior Sailing Junior Sailing can be like any other full time sport such as baseball, soccer or tennis – what a child puts into it will determine what a child will get out of the program.
