Junior sailing lessons to start

Published 4:06 pm Tuesday, June 11, 2013

Summer Junior Sailing Lessons, presented by Sail Orcas and hosted by the Orcas Island Yacht Club, are just around the corner, starting June 24.

For the past 20 years Orcas youth ages eight to 15 have been introduced to the sport of sailing through this popular program, which focuses on teaching sailing skills in a safe and fun environment. With a variety of boats, including Vanguard Prams, Lasers, and six Open Bics, the program can accommodate beginners and experienced sailors anxious to expand their skills.

Orcas grown sailors Annalies Schuh, assisted by Jules Mann and Cameron Schuh, will head up the instruction this summer. For more information http://sailorcas.org/.
