As the icicles of winter melt away, we are eagerly planning for summer, sunshine and sailing at the Avalon Yacht Club. Our 2008 Youth Sailing Program will take place Monday through Thursday for two successive 4-week sessions, beginning June 23, 2008. The first session will culminate on Family Day with swimming and sailing exhibitions, races and awards. The second session will finish with Family Night & perpetual awards. We encourage all AYC families to enroll their children or grandchildren in what will be, for many, the beginning of wonderful lifelong memories and friendships.

We are pleased to announce that Kevin Strogen will assume the role of Director of Youth and Sailing.  Kevin has been promoted from serving as assistant director in 2007.  Working with Kevin will be two assistant directors.  We will have a new crop of excited sailing instructors to blend with our experienced returnees. We will continue to provide excellent sailing instruction, while updating the structure and focusing on the safety of our program.

Program perquisites, details, costs, and available courses may be found in our registration packet, posted on our website and mailed to all members by March 1. AYC Youth & Sailing Guidelines will be mailed to registrants of our program. Information about the program may also be picked up at the clubhouse.
