Congratulations to School of the Arts sailors, Marc DeLoach, Oliver Penegar and Sara DeLoach on finishing 2nd at the SAISA Spring Intersectional at Jacksonville University this past weekend. Their finish secured them a berth to the New Orleans Great Oaks Regatta next season!

Got sailing news or pictures? Please email them to us – we LOVE to hear about all the positive things going on from sailors in our community.

Rain or Shine – we’ll we got both! We held the SAISA UC-NP#4 on Saturday and the forecast – was miserable, heavy rain, cold temperatures and no breeze. After a postponement on land with space heaters, hot chocolate and friends; sailing was called for the day.

Races started bright and early Sunday morning in ripping tides and teams were able to get off 8 races total. Spectators hung out of the beautiful new dock and coaches were able to support their teams as the clouds cleared and sun rolled out. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped on and off the water to make this regatta successful. A HUGE THANKS to James Island Yacht Club for opening their facilities to 19 scholastic teams from the Southeast and for keeping them warm, providing hot chocolate and for offering lunch. Next event is the Gold Championship on March 16 & 17. If you are interested in helping out – please call us at 843-607-4890.

It’s official – our summer programs are online and registration is open! We will be offering $25 OFF of Beginner Sailing classes if you register BY 2/28/2013.

We will be launching some new programs this summer along with our ever so popular Guppy Sailing for ages 5-7 years old. New programs include our ADVENTURE SAIL – a step up from Beginner Sailing for those sailors who are not quite ready for Intermediate but enjoy going on longer sails. In addition, we will start an ADVANCED SAILING – OPTI RACE TEAM for children ages 8-15, who are who are interested in a racing-oriented team setting. Sailors and team-members are encouraged to participate on the team for as many weeks as possible along with local area regattas and should have Beginner & Intermediate Sailing under their belt.

Not sure what would be a good fit for your child, neice, nephew or grandchild – give us a call at (843) 607-4890 and we will help guide you in the right direction!
