Overview
This year’s RYC Junior Sailing Program will run from October 9, 2011– March 18, 2012. The program will teach 60-70 junior sailors, ages 8 – 18, to safely enjoy the art and sport of sailing.
The RYC program is designed to be accessible to a wide range of students and relies on volunteers to keep costs reasonable for all.
Classes are taught in Optimists, El Toros and Lasers. Students usually bring their own boats to class, although 10 Optimist dinghies are available for use by new students.
The RYC also operates a High-School program and a summer program through its Youth Sailing Director, Dan Brandt. Please visit the “High School” section of the RYC web site to learn more.
The RYC Junior Sailing Program is Available to:
Students who are at least 8-years of age by October 9, 2011 and are able to pay attention in class for up to 1 hour without individual supervision.
Students who wish to participate in the following classes
· Beginner El Toros & Optimists
· Intermediate & Advance Optimists
· Intermediate El Toros

Our Philosophy:
· We make sailing fun and safe…for juniors of all ages and inclinations
· We make sailing accessible, by depending on the volunteer support of parents
· We enjoy the most favorable learning conditions on the Bay…the “Richmond Riviera”
· We reflect the values of the RYC, a club that was “Built for Fun”
