Welcome 2007 Sailing Season - Posted on Jun 01, 2007

WELCOME

 

            Summer is almost here!!! Only a few more weeks left of school. I know they will go by fast. I hope you all had a good year. Of course, it can never be as good as the summer. I look forward to meeting all the sailors and parents. I hope to meet many of you at the Parent/Student Orientation on Tuesday June 19th, or at the Race Team Orientation on Wednesday, June 20th.

            I am very excited about this summer. Last year I was the head instructor at The Fleet, a program in Northeast Harbor Maine. We had a great summer but I'm excited to be a little closer to home. I grew up in Marblehead, MA sailing at Pleon Yacht Club in the summers. I also went to Boston College where I was on the sailing team.

            We have a great coaching staff this summer. While this is my first year at Sandy Bay, we have many returning instructors. We will set high standards for ourselves and for the quality of instruction your children will receive. Above all, our focus this year is to make sure everyone has a great summer and enjoys every day of sailing. Our ultimate aim as coaches is to promote sailing, improve skills, and achieve all this through a fun and safe atmosphere.

            Make sure that once the summer gets going you check the website often as there will be regular updates and newsletters throughout the summer.  There's even a web cam that Ron set up!

 

See you soon,

Jen Doyle

Sailing Director

Sail Magazine Features SBYC - Posted on Feb 10, 2007

Sail Magazine recently published an article about boats which might be used in Junior Sailing Programs, and SBYC’s Junior Sailing Program evaluated these boats!

Gretchen Curtis, one of our Junior Sailing Instuctors, wrote this article while interning as a writer for Sail Magazine.  Our kids in the 420 Racing Team and the 420 Cruising Class tested several boats delivered to SBYC in August 2006 to evaluate the boats for the article.

Our kids had a great time, and also had some opinions to express. You can read the article here.

Good job Gretchen!
