This year, I'm sending at least 2 seniors off to sail in college. One to South Carolina and the other to Maine Maritime. This will be the 2nd kid that I've sent to Maine Maritime, and my coaching partner's grandson is getting ready to graduate from there as well. These 2 graduates, from our HS Sailing program, will be joining previous grads now sailing at Jacksonville, North Carolina State, Ohio State, and Miami of Ohio.
We started our High School Sailing Program 5 years ago. Our first graduations happened 3 years ago, and we've sent a couple to the college ranks each year since. Seeing kids develop a love for the sport and continuing to compete in college is really cool.
DangYou!
I have been sending money to the school for years, each annual check marked to support the waterfront which is greatly the sailing team.
I recently sent them some money to help support the team's trip to CA where they did well last year. Now I'll have to send more for your deliveries!
In my day there was no sailing team but there was the yacht club. I was the second Commadore with two boats, about 12 sailors, and the annual dues of $5.00. And 2 summer ocean races.
