The first week of camp really flew by! We had some great sailing conditions which meant lots of time spent on the water with everybody learning loads. Lets hope the breeze sticks around so we can have another week of quality sailing.

Beginner ClassThe beginners spent their first couple of days

learning the ropes (literally). Rigging, knot tying and

steering were perfected before getting on the water with

full sails  and putting their land drills to good use. This

week hopefully all the kids will get to sail solo and will

have gotten the hang of all the points of sail.

Intermediate ClassThe intermediates spent the first day or two shaking

off the cobwebs and finding their sea legs again. Once

they got back in to the swing of things race practice

became their top priority and NYCC was well

represented at the Hampton Annual Regatta this past

weekend. It would be great to see as many kids as

possible competing in the larger regattas around the

bay.

Sloops ClassThe sloop class is a little smaller this year than usual

but they've still been getting out on the water everyday

with skipper and crew getting used to working together

to sail the boat as fast as possible. This is a great class

for any older sailors with a little experience who have

out grown the opti.

Just a quick reminder that the evening regatta this week will be on Thursday July 5, instead of Wednesday July 4. Sailors

should arrive at the club at the usual time of 5pm. Hoping to see a lot of y'all there.
