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.
