Junior Yacht Racing Activities in 1932

The Booklet "Junior Yacht Racing Activities" published in 1932 by the JYRA LIS was recently found in the office of the YRA LIS and returned to us.

Clifford D. Mallory, the first president of the organization today known as US Sailing, wrote in the foreword, “The development of Junior activity is, in my opinion, the finest work that yachtsman in general can undertake, for in the development of the Juniors, we are looking to the future, when they assume the leadership of the sport.”

This is what JSA is still all about today.

The booklet, with a survey of the earliest junior sailing activities across the USA, has been scanned and is available for download at this link.
