It may be cold outside, but things are heating up with the Hudson Yacht Club Race Teams! Being a member of our exciting Race Team reaps immeasurable rewards: the thrill of competition, travel, and a lifelong love for racing. Be sure to attend an information meeting on Thursday, January 29th, 2009 at Hudson Yacht Club. The evening will be split into two sessions. The Junior Race Team (Opti) meeting will be held at 7 p.m., followed by the Senior Race Team meeting at 8:30 p.m.We encourage parents of sailors who finished White Sail III to consider the exhilarating challenges of Optimist racing. This is a full-season, BYOB (bring your own boat) program and offers our young sailors wonderful opportunities to really strengthen their sailing skills in a friendly, competitive environment while building tremendous confidence at the helm.
For those avid Junior Sailors who have passed Bronze V, the Senior Race Team is a terrific opportunity to develop strong racing skills, at local, provincial or national youth regattas, while earning Silver VI levels. This is a full-season, BYOB program, with pre- and post-season training for those who are truly passionate about the sport.
