I am encouraging all teams with V-15's to bring all their boats to NOOD's and share any extra boats with schools that don't have V-15's. (this is not just a high school event but is a great chance for us to try to create a place where our sailors can face stiffer double-handed competition with lots of boats on the starting line) Still looking for a volunteer to handle publicity for the NWISA regattas. The Willamette Sailing Club has started a model program for developing high school sailing by providing coaches, facilities and equipment for any interested high school sailor in the Portland, OR / Vancouver, WA area. This is a great opportunity for yacht/sailing clubs in metropolitan areas to grow the sport by enabling schools to get started without a huge start-up cost. Our smaller communities have A yacht club supporting A high school team. This is the first time we've had A club with a program specifically to support MANY schools. We hope they've started a trend.
We want to have a page about our alumni - those sailors who've experienced life on the water beyond high school. We know we have several who have competed in various World Championships, and several others attending maritime academies. Some are getting paid to teach and coach. But we'd also like to hear about the lucky ones that are just sailing around someplace warm for work or play. Send anything to me and I'll get it posted. Don't wait for the coach to send it to me, YOU do it... NOW!
