Congratulations to Ralf Steitz, the Offshore Sailing Director at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point NY, who has received US SAILING's Timothea Larr Award for his lifelong commitment to quality sailing education. The award is the US SAILING Training Committee's highest honor, presented annually to an individual whose vision and guidance has made an outstanding contribution to the advancement of sailor education and training in the United States.
JSA LIS junior-big-boat sailors know Steitz well, because he is a member of Safety at Sea Committee at Storm Trysail Club headquartered in Larchmont NY. Steitz has been a driving force behind the growth of Safety at Sea training for youth and adults. He has been the lead presenter at the Junior Safety at Sea Seminar held the past 11 years at the Larchmont Yacht Club in New York. Each summer, with 20-25 borrowed big boats (35-50 feet) and many volunteer coaches under his leadership, the program trains about 225 juniors and their instructors in big boat team organization, sail handling, and man overboard drills.
