Though the madness of summer camps is over, our Juniors Program has stayed busy! 46 sailors from several different high schools make up our JV and Varsity teams, and our Opti team has 13 regular participants. CYC’s sailing teams are bigger and more competitive than ever, and in the coming months CYC will be represented at two (more!) different nationals, for a total of 4 national appearances in the 2021 year. Ballard High School and The Downtown School qualified for a national women’s invitational in San Diego, and Dieter Creitz from Ballard HS will be representing all of NWISA at the Cressy Trophy, date and location to be Dieter-mined. We hosted the Burke Thomas Trophy in conjunction with PSSC Small Boat, and we couldn’t have done it without the help of Cindy Barrett, Matthew Wood, Bob Combie, and Jared Hickman. Thank you for all your efforts in encouraging youth sailing to flourish in our community!
