BHYC Junior sailors can never get away from sail competition it seems! Jax and Emma Vanderveen have just completed competition in the Orange Bowl Regatta, hosted in Florida by the Coral Ridge Yacht Club and featuring participants from all over the country. Both girls sailed in the Opti class.

Jax (Jacqueline), who won the Maine State Opti Championship last summer, as a result of her standings in the Orange Bowl event has qualified for the Magic Marine Easter Optimist Regatta to be held in Holland at Braassermermeer, located midway between Amsterdam and Rotterdam. The event is an International Open with teams invited from around Europe and as far as the USA, to bring together 275 sailors for four days of competition.

The Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club Junior sailing and tennis programs are now open and available for registration for the 2013 summer season.

Also now open for enrollment is the club High School Sailing program which provides teens with the opportunity to sail and race for the spring (April and May) and fall (September and October) seasons. Coach Sally Lloyd is available to meet with interested young people and their parents.

Information and registration materials are available at the Yacht Club at 207-633-5750 or by emailing club manager Jim Matel at office@BHYC.net.
