Rebuilding a Junior Sailing Program

Each season JSALIS gets at at least one call asking how to start up a junior program, or rebuild a program that had languished as members' children grew up and left.

Apparently that same question is being asked as the summer season approaches in Australia. At the Middle Harbour YC in Sydney the newly elected rear commodore, Carl Crafoord, hopes to reestablish the active junior dinghy sailing that he recalls as being such fun in his own youth.

A veteran of 19 Sydney-Hobart races and an executive with Lewmar Australia, Crafoord has a number of interesting ideas about joining forces with resources from outside the club itself to achieve that goal, which you may read about at this link http://www.mhyc.com.au/News.htm
