Two-Week Junior Training Program

Our two-week sailing program is for students ages 9-17. Members and returning sailor registration (priority consideration and fees) is offered to MRSA and Grachur members’ children, grandchildren, (grand) nieces/nephews, and cousins. Member registration opens on February 1st, 2025. Non-member registration begins on March 1st, 2025. Non-members, please consider registering before March 1st to have your name at the top of the list! No prior sailing experience is required to participate. Students are expected to be able to swim before the start of the Junior Training Program.

MRSA maintains a fleet of dinghies, including FJs, 420s, Lasers, and Prams. On the water training will be conducted on these boats with students separated into groups by sailing experience. Our staff of instructors and CITs teach a US Sailing/CBYRA-approved training program. They are assisted by the Head Instructor, Fleet Captain – Junior Training, and volunteers.

 

Volunteer Commitment

Our Junior Training Program requires family support to assist in the smooth sailing of the program. Volunteers help to clean and rig boats before the start of the program as well as derigging at the end of the program. A family member must provide one day of onsite supervision per sailor in the program.

 

Program Registration

Registration applications will be accepted starting February 1st. Members of MRSA and Grachur Club have priority registration until March 1st. Non-member registration will be considered after member registrations, with priority given to returning students through March 1st. Starting March 2nd, all applications will be enrolled in order of date received provided the program is not full.

Priority students accepted to the program will be notified on or about March 1st. Another acceptance notification will be sent out on or about April 1st. Once the program is full, a wait list will be formed with the remaining registrations. Member priority will be retained if the registrant is placed on the wait list. Applications received on or after March 2nd will be added in the order they are received without priority stipulations. Space in the program is limited to 40 students. Registration priority will be determined by the date of receipt of the submitted registration forms.

Once you have submitted your forms, please email Grace O’Brien, Registration Coordinator, juniortraining@magothysailing.org, to ensure all forms have been submitted before payment.
