monday september 21 2015 reflections from the president soaking wet by tom hubbell i m actually a fan of formal dining my parents were pretty formal and although we lived on an engineer and a social worker s income they routinely enjoyed formal meals at home or occasionally in restaurants but with a few fantastic exceptions a club that focuses on white tablecloth dining rooms is missing the ingredients it takes to have a vibrant sailing hub i submit that the single best indicator of a vibrant sailing institution is whether it is normal to see a soaking wet 12 year old in a life jacket gadding about in the common areas of the club not the junior sailing hut but the club s primary facility i have enjoyed sailing and visiting many clubs and community sailing centers each year all over the country in my 14 years of involvement with the us sailing board of directors when junior sailing is active and welcome within the adult spaces it is much more likely to become a multigenerational club when kids are in this space there is a level of excitement that is contagious junior sailing encourages more training programs offered by these organizations clubs that discover the value of training for all ages and skill levels including race management and safety quickly see increased participation across the board if you can t wait for the kids to grow up and populate your club then you ll want to recruit young adults and former collegiate sailors looking for new opportunities i don t hear them clamoring for white tablecloth dining either i believe they are looking for a welcoming place lower membership costs access to club owned boats reasonably priced burgers and beer and a shower and while solo boats and couples boats are fun it may be that three person one designs and three or four person boats in phrf fleets are a necessary backbone for sustainability there must be a reason that thistles flying scots lightnings j 22s and j 24s are practically everywhere and i suspect the reason is the social glue for which they are famous they are inviting to mixed gender multigenerational teams they offer local regional and national levels of competition out of necessity community sailing centers have been getting this right and guess what they are booming informal inexpensive welcoming focused on training and fun those are the buzz words for growth you can still have a nice dining room upstairs as long as it doesn t compromise having young sailors having the run of the place tom hubbell president of us sailing posted by us sailing at 9 41 am no comments email this

seven teachers and 27 sixth grade students from the reach club at the creek bridge middle school in marion south carolina made the two and a half hour drive from their landlocked community to charleston one of the most popular sailing destinations in the country wayne burdick president of beneteau inc spent the last year and a half collaborating with us sailing and the marion county school district to engage area youth in stem education science technology engineering and math through the sport of sailing fifty students learned stem through the us sailing reach initiative over the past four months this experience featured a field trip to the beneteau group factory in marion where students learned how sailboats are designed and built at the successful conclusion of the student s reach studies they went to the college of charleston to sail with the school s nationally recognized sailing team only two of the students had ever been on the water prior to this experience there are few times in my career that have been more gratifying in the big picture of life than the day spent seeing the reach students sail on a beautiful day at the college of charleston sailing center said burdick thanks to the support of our marion team where beautiful jeanneau and beneteau sailboats are built each day and thanks to some of the finest collegiate sailors acting as skipper and superior role models for the kids the event was a wonderful culmination for the introduction of this us sailing program to an inland school beneteau group has partnered with the marion schools for the upcoming school year and will be implementing reach in sixth and seventh grade classrooms at the creek bridge school the implementation of the reach program in marion serves as a great example and a blueprint for other schools to follow by partnering with sailing programs organizations and businesses in the industry schools can learn how to introduce more youth to stem education and sailing we hope to expand upon this initiative of using sailing as a basis for catalyzing middle school students interest in science technology engineering and math said burdick thanks to the beneteau group which includes the jeanneau america beneteau america and the bgm america factory in marion the students at creek bridge middle school have seen a world outside of their small south carolina town us sailing s reach initiative gives the students an opportunity to learn about science technology engineering and math while getting out on the water and as burdick says there is nothing more important than that we thank the team at beneteau group for the time and dedication they put into this project as well as nathan indergaard and the school s leadership and staff at creek bridge middle school said servis they tried something new learned about sailing and used their creativity for a unique learning opportunity for their students we would also like to recognize the college of charleston sailing team and the leadership of coach greg fisher thank you for taking the time and effort to introduce these individuals to the great sport of sailing learn more about us sailing s reach posted by us sailing at 2

alert forecasting over 20 knots of winds and 5 to 7 foot seas wasn t good news for kathy allyn chairwoman of the usa junior olympic festival at the mentor harbor yachting club mhyc on lake erie in june with 126 participants aged 7 to 18 arriving for the event with their parents she had to think fast so kathy flipped her plans for the us sailing skill builder clinic scheduled during the festival normally the clinic is structured with day 1 to include both classroom and on the water instruction days 2 and 3 offer on the water coaching during the race but mother nature had other plans so kathy worked with the clinic coaches to adapt to the situation day 1 was spent racing prior to the inclement weather followed by two days either in the classroom or on the water in small groups coaching young sailors to manage small boats in tough conditions proved to be an important learning experience for everyone the kids had a great time and went home with confidence in their ability to manage waves wind and gusty conditions the kind of conditions they are usually told to avoid us sailing is providing nationally recognized sailing coaches at many of the 27 junior olympic festivals held around the country this year the top notch coaches interact with everyone involved from volunteers to coaches as well as instructional staff and race officers these clinics build the collective skill set and raise the level of expertise for all the mhyc event welcomed top coaches from george washington university stanford university and the college of charleston the lead coaches bring national and international experience to the local level and help to mentor the next generation of coaches said john pearce head coach at george washington university it s always a relief when bad luck is transformed into good it ended up being more of a sailing conference for kids said kathy who plans all the mhyc junior activities it s likely that kathy s quick thinking rather than luck resulted in

perspective on youth champs there was a time i got to play at this level and it was really fun said ed baird it s great to be here watching my kids race and enjoy the sailing the way i did and still do today perched on top of the new roger williams university sailing center s viewing deck ed baird peered through his binoculars at the laser radial fleet in action on mount hope bay he couldn t help being nostalgic as he watched his two sons nic and ty race at the u s youth sailing championships the former laser and j 24 world champion and two time winner of the america s cup one as helm one as coach has an interesting take on the state of youth racing in the u s it s impressive to see how the overall skill level has changed from when i sailed here the sailors at this level today are so far beyond where we were at this age they ve become so talented through great coaching and support beyond his role as a supportive dad ed was also focused on the racing from a coach s perspective as a coach you assume everyone at this level is going to perform the maneuvers well what you want to determine is do they know how to decide if the maneuver or the boat speed is what they need in that situation can they recognize things like cloud formations and changes in currents for the next race or leg you see a lot of these kids developing that type of maturity and they experience the value of those decisions here at youth champs ed s son nic pictured is big fan of championships that include multiple classes and sailors from around the country fresh off his come from behind win at youth champs nic discussed what this event means to him i had some very beneficial talks with some of the i 420 coaches and sailors about split tacks said nic just to be able to talk to other sailors and learn from their strategies is a great experience sailing different types of boats in different kinds of racing is really good for us as sailors first of all it s a lot of fun and it s also really cool to see how other sailors approach these situations i try to learn from that ed s circle of sailing friends goes back decades when he was a young promising sailor racing at championships like this
