August already?!

It's hard to believe we are in the month of August already! There are only three weeks left of the program and our students are showing great improvement in all aspects of their sailing. Today the beginner opti full season sailors were sailing SOLO! They practiced a triangle and learned about starboard and port tacks. They were very impressive. While the beginners were hard at work, the intermediates practiced sailing a triangle in the ocean. Way to go intermediate's!


The 420 beginner class worked on a triangle course, upwind sailing and jibing. Ryan is very pleased with their progress! Chris and Mildred focused on upwind sailing with the intermediate 420's. As the afternoon approached, the breeze picked up and the 420-B team had the opportunity to work on their starts. They will be traveling to the Bass River Challenge Cup on Wednesday. We wish them the best of luck.  The opti race team will be traveling over to the Hyannisport Invite tomorrow. They also practiced their starts today in anticipation for tomorrow! Sail fast WDYC racers!


As things were busy at WDYC, we had six of our sailors racing at the Scituate Jr. Regatta.  The 420 sailors representing WDYC were: Nick Arabia/Kelsey Goggin and Michael Sweeney/Katie Galanis. There are 43 boats on the line and after the first day, Kelsey and Nick are in 3rd place! Woo-ho! We also had Matthew Sweeney and Jake Hawk on the opti line.  Matthew is in 10th and Jake is in 11th after the first day!
